Matt Gonzalez on Obama

Matt Gonzalez, former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and Green Party member, examines Obama’s voting record and finds it seriously lacking.

Once I started looking at the votes Obama actually cast, I began to hear his rhetoric differently. The principal conclusion I draw about “change” and Barack Obama is that Obama needs to change his voting habits and stop pandering to win votes. If he does this he might someday make a decent candidate who could earn my support. For now Obama has fallen into a dangerous pattern of capitulation that he cannot reconcile with his growing popularity as an agent of change.
