Barry's could loose my vote

I've been saying since the primaries:
  • Obama is too kind to the right wingers.
  • Obama compromises his position before he starts - his health care proposal starts where it should be ending up, so of course it becomes useless
  • Obama is unwilling to anger anyone. Partially, I'm sure as a tactic - he doesn't want to appear to be an angry black man. But also because it really is his nature, for good or ill
I can assume he's playing rope-a-dope with the right wing on torture, on Gitmo, on Healthcare, and the other areas where it appears he's being rolled by the hate mongers (I mean Republicans), but it's getting to be time to bounce off the ropes and land a few blows. Set the bigots (I mean the Republicans) back a bit, or at least reveal them in all their naked horribleness.

I fear he's not going to even come close on his speech next week. I voted for Hillary in the Primary last year for these reasons, and will vote for anyone in a Primary who opposes Obama if he continues on this path of enabling Republican hate mongering to drive the agenda.

Loose on healthcare, but loose on the real thing, not watered down BS that to paraphrase Aaron Sorkin, Won't do anything to fix Healthcare.
