Liberal hack comes clean – Michael Goodwin regrets voting for Obama

The NY Post’s description of their liberal hack “journalist” is:

Michael Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist known for never letting the political elite forget their job is to represent taxpayers. He started his career with The New York Times as a housing reporter and then City Hall bureau chief. He was the editorial page editor at the Daily News, where he directed a series of reports on the Apollo Theater that won the Pulitzer. A series documenting abuse of farmworkers earned the board the Polk Award. In 2000, he was named executive editor of the News and returned to column writing in 2004.

Now, poor ole Mike is regretting his decision to vote for Obama:

President Obama, for whom I voted because I believed he was the best choice available, is a profound disappointment. I now regard his campaign as a sly bait-and-switch operation, promising one thing and delivering another. Shame on me.

Equally surprising, he has become an insufferable bore. The grace notes and charm have vanished, with peevishness and petty spite his default emotions. His rhetorical gifts now serve his loathsome habit of fear-mongering.

“Time is running out,” he says, over and again. He said it on health care, on the stimulus, in Copenhagen, on Iran.

Instead of provoking thought and inspiring ideas, the man hailed for his Ivy League nuance insists we stop thinking and do what he says. Now.

Watching the freak show in Copenhagen last week, I was alternately furious and filled with dread. The world has gone absolutely bonkers and lunatics are in charge.

Mugabe and Chavez are treated with respect and the United Nations is serious about wanting to regulate our industry and transfer our wealth to kleptocrats and genocidal maniacs

    Well, at least it’s good to hear a Lib who admits he made a mistake. He nailed it pretty well.

    absurd thought –
    our Supreme God says
    DESTROY your economies

    expand your welfare states
    until they ALL collapse

    .
    absurd thought –
    your supreme God really
    admires rabid communists

    because it’s they who BELIEVE
    in such a deadly system

    .
    absurd thought -
    God of the Universe says
    overtax the EVIL rich

    if it brings in less money
    for needed social programs

    .
    absurd thought –
    God of the Universe says
    strangle your economy

    to try to fix health care
    then just watch it get much worse
