In Denial

By Patrick Appel

Megan whacks progressives shocked that Obama isn't going to do their bidding:

First rule of politics:  small groups get favors from the politicians they support only to the extent that it does not annoy large groups who voted for those politicians.  Check the progressive agenda.  See which bits do not annoy large groups who voted for Obama.  That is what the progressives are going to get.

The other group who is in denial, of course, is the conservatives. While the progressives are shocked, shocked that Obama hasn't made Bill Ayers attorney general and Ingrid Newkirk Secretary of Agriculture, many of the conservatives who were mad about my supporting Obama continue to assure me that he is making card check and confiscatory taxation the centerpiece of his administration. Maybe the hard conservatives and the progressives should be consoling each other.
