If Obama’s Lost Dennis Kucinich…

…it means that at least some on the far left are willing to show some consistency. Yesterday the Democratic House Caucus held a conference call on Libya, and a “hard-core group of liberal House Democrats” “strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the president’s actions.” Dennis Kucinich “asked why the U.S. missile strikes aren’t impeachable offenses.”
From a political standpoint, it is probably a plus for Obama any time he has opponents on his left. But this is one more reminder of how far we have come from the days when Obama got has start as a presidential contender as the candidate of the antiwar movement.
