O'Fans Lose Faith

Johnny Doesn't Love Jazz in this post-- The Distant Ocean: Shattered dreams: "It's been breathtaking trying to follow Obama's sprint to the right since he clinched the nomination—and I say 'trying' because he's moving so fast he's actually starting to redshift, and soon it'll take hours just for the light from his receding back to reach us. You've got to admire the thoroughness and breadthny of his disguise-shedding: the death penalty, FISA and telecom immunity, scolding the (ostensible) left, scapegoating black fathers, backtracking from his previous lies about NAFTA, positioning himself to the right of Likud, vowing to go Bush one better in giving government funds to religious organizations, and even hedging on the one and only thing he's said that at all merited the 'change' label—his vow to talk to leaders like Ahmadinejad. Among other things. Really, it's been like Christmas every day...I can hardly wait to see what's next!..."

Good summation of comments from other places.
