DU has seldom been wrong about the big issues since 2001... [View All]

Granted, a lot of us voted for John Edwards and supported him on DU, but the majority of support always went to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, with the edge perhaps to Obama, perhaps?

But from its inception, DU was right about the invasion of Iraq. It was wrong. It was criminal. George W Bush, even when his popularity and his war were about 90% approval with the rest of America, the "ten percenters" at DU were telling the truth about Bush and Cheney. They were wrong. They were criminal.

Now, I wonder if the majority of DUers think Obama is going in the right direction? It's hard to determine at this time. Many folks think he could do a lot more than he is doing.

Is Obama really wrong about the banks? About the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? About the economy? About the bailouts? About the automobile companies? About gays? Or are most folks here just armchair quarterbacks?

Will DU be right about Barack Obama? Or will he and we miss an opportunity for change that will never come around again in our lifetimes? Is he that bold? Should he be?
