Obama broken promises make liberal leaders nervous and angry

When has a president-elect shed his campaign promises so quickly?

When has a president-elect alienated his base this quickly?

When has the euphoria of a popular president-elect turned to anger just one month after the election?

The answer is never, never and never.

Liberals are growing increasingly nervous – and some just flat-out angry – that President-elect Barack Obama seems to be stiffing them on Cabinet jobs and policy choices.

Obama [pictured] has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. He’s hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And he’s stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left.

Problem is - they are stuck with him now. They listened to the liberal media rather than warnings from conservatives.

Obama insists he hasn’t abandoned the goals that made him feel to some like a liberal savior. But the left’s bill of particulars against Obama is long, and growing.

Buyers remorse may continue through the entire presidency of their chosen one.
