Will the Bush Deranged soon become the Obama Deranged?

Seems so:

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 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.

Now some are shedding a reluctance to puncture the liberal euphoria at being rid of President George W. Bush to say, in effect, that the new boss looks like the old boss.

“He has confirmed what our suspicions were by surrounding himself with a centrist to right cabinet. But we do hope that before it's all over we can get at least one authentic progressive appointment,” said Tim Carpenter, national director of the Progressive Democrats of America.

OpenLeft blogger Chris Bowers went so far as to issue this plaintive plea: “Isn't there ever a point when we can get an actual Democratic administration?”

Even supporters make clear they’re on the lookout for backsliding. “There’s a concern that he keep his basic promises and people are going to watch him,” said Roger Hickey, a co-founder of Campaign for America’s Future.

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.

This of course gives serious credence to Morgan's assertion that liberals are always one revolution away from happiness.

Oh, say it ain’t so, Obama using people or an organization to further his political goals then abandoning them at his convenience? Boy, didn’t see THAT one coming.

NOW we finally find out what will turn his followers off – Obama’s genuine non-genuineness. That big thud you hear is their collective expectations hitting the floor…hard.

Dude hasn’t even taken office yet…but I’m sure it’ll get better. I mean, that’s the way it works right? Perversely sky high expectations, then hard, cold reality, followed by some semblance of those original expectations. Yup, seen that a million times.

Hope for Change. And if that doesn’t work, Change your Hope.

Worst President Elect Ever.
