Okay, enlighten me then on who are the "principled progressives" that you speak of are and how has Obama "escalated" W.'s war? Obama never said or promised that he was Dennis Kucinich. And Newsflash: sometimes, often times, future president's mouths write checks on the campaign trail that their asses can't cash once they get into office. Guantanamo is a perfect example of that. Bill Clinton and national health care is another. Ron Paul is a perfect example of this also. If he ever got elected, he couldn't get half the shit spews on and on about passed.
I don't think you mentioned it but some other armchair quarterback on here did, since when have our politicians not pissed on the Constitution? Everybody acts like the founders and the following generations never did, when in reality, they did all the time when it worked in their party's favor. Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, all of those guys pissed on the Constitution at one point or another while in office.
