I can't sit through this. Did the leftie actually criticize Hopey McChange, or did he meet my expectations?

[Matt Welch]

Yes, there was criticism....

[John C. Randolph]

So, he's not a total hypocrite like Obama is? Good for him. He's boring as hell, though.

Afghanistan is a JOKE. The US has no business there and has enough of its own problems to deal with!

In the central-planning fantasy of American lefties like Christopher Hayes, it's always assumed THEY themselves would have a role on the People's Planning Committee, financed by a nice, fat government stipend.

It never occurs to them their own personal freedom and livelihood would ever be at stake; only someone else's.

Sadly, history disagrees..."intellectuals" were usually the first to be shot.

Was Hayes being agreeable because you guys are old friends? Interesting discussion, but I didn't see much debate here. I didn't detect any rah-rah Obama on his part.
