Being Liberals

Arianna Huffington's quote in New York Times that "the whole point that American policy needs to be redefined beyond left and right" seems to have gotten liberals riled up. But I find it interesting that these same people make excuses for the right-leaning policies of Barack Obama. Now, she's a media person and he's the president. Which has more power? Perhaps she does according to the outcry.

Why would this upset liberals? She's been saying it for a while now. But she is being quite disingenuous in saying her blog is not a left leaning blog. The majority of her attacks on Obama are left-leaning.

Who benefits from attacks from the left? Low democratic turnout last November put minority republicans in charge.

BTW, Obama is not pushing right-leaning ideas. He's accepting reality and moving to the right in an attempt to keep the white house and the senate in control by the Democrats. Huffington's move to the right is to be expected. In the late 1990's she was a Gingrich Repubican and in the 1980' she was a Jerry Brown Democrat. Its part of how she sells herself.

Why not just tell us what you would do if you had the power of invisability, could leap tall buildings with a single bound and were bullet proof > Arianna on what she would do if she rulled the world.
