Well, Dr. Krugman, this Liberal Never Trusted Obama

I figured that he would throw progressives and liberals under the bus since the entire Donnie McClurkin affair, when Obama deliberately threw gays under a bus to win the South Carolina primary.

He's done it with:
  • Rapid withdrawal from Iraq.
  • Releasing torture photos.
  • His support of "fair trade".
  • Stupid tax cuts in the stimulus package.
  • Pursuing war crimes by Bush and His Evil Minions
  • Bailing out the banks.
  • Gays, particularly with Don't Ask Don't Tell.
  • The use of civilian courts to try terrorists.
  • Closing Guantanamo (with an assist from craven Congressmen).
  • Ra

So now, Paul Krugman notices that progressives have finally drawn a line in the sand on the public option:
It’s hard to avoid the sense that Mr. Obama has wasted months trying to appease people who can’t be appeased, and who take every concession as a sign that he can be rolled.

Indeed, no sooner were there reports that the administration might accept co-ops as an alternative to the public option than G.O.P. leaders announced that co-ops, too, were unacceptable.

So progressives are now in revolt. Mr. Obama took their trust for granted, and in the process lost it. And now he needs to win it back.
Gee, you think?

I've been saying this for over a year.
