Re: "How could we have known?"
The link works now, and as I suspected from the source, it seems to (it's a bit incoherent) a leftist bitching about how Obama didn't turn out to be commie enough. Kind of weird, considering my view that Obama's leftism was obvious from the start and he was doing his best to hide it.
I have no idea what Leftists thought they were looking at in November of 2008. I wonder who they would elect that would be far-left enough for them.
