No really, he did.
You may scoff, but when you think about it, Obama exhibits a lot of behaviors we’ve come to associate with Blue Dog Democrats:
- He campaigned on fiscal responsibility only to add trillions to the deficit once in office.
- He claimed to be a moderate, but has overwhelmingly supported items on the liberal agenda.
- He continues to support Nancy Pelosi, no matter how far to the left she goes.
- Support for him has all but disappeared across rural and suburban America.
- He’ll lose his next election to a Republican.

About Lawrence Person
Lawrence Person is a political commentator and science fiction writer living in Austin, Texas. His political work has appeared in National Review, Reason, The Freeman, Liberty and The World & I. His SF has appeared in Asimov's, Analog, F&SF, Postscripts, Jim Baen's Universe, Fear, and several anthologies.

I thought that Blue Dog Democrats were stealth Republicans, the conservative wing of the Democrat party.
