Apparently Nader is not alone.

Michael Moore, Farrakhan, Liberal Congress, the Daily Kos, and more are complaining about Obama's Libya stance.

Left wheel of Obama bandwagon falls off

Ooops. The far left supported Obama primarily because he advertised himself as the anti-war candidate. Now that he’s launched us into a third simultaneous war (Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya), former supporters have thrown in the towel:

Dennis Kucinich: Time to impeach Obama over Libya action.
Michael Moore: Obama no better than Bush.
Louis Farrakhan: “Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?”
Andrew Sullivan: Obama now the exact opposite of what I voted for.
This random DailyKos diarist sums up today’s zeigeist on the left:

Then why did the left promote and elect such a weak candidate?

There is no left and right.

For instance, Sprint, Boost Mobile, and Virgin Mobile are all the same company. All different rates, and all different features.

The same people make the money.

Politics is a game of marketing, that's all. Gang warfare for control of your tax dollars. No matter who wins, we always lose, or if we're lucky, get some crumbs.

Take an aerial view one day. You'll see what I mean.

Not quite-Bush II was a Democrat. That's why they have so much in common.

Sorry, that excuse doesn't fly. If you want to continue to try using it, first explain how the health insurance mandate was passed while Obama was being "bullied around with intimidation and thug tactics."

53% to 46% is not a landslide. You should check out some different sources for your information.

No we're just loaning them 100+ cruise missiles delivered for free... free for everyone except us and the innocent people they kill on the ground in Libya.
