- National Post editorial board: Obama lets down the left
-
Obama promised he’d reach out to his opponents. And guess what? He’s doing it
Throughout Barack Obama’s run for the presidency, much of his appeal centered on his professed desire to move past the partisanship and dogmatism that afflicts both of America’s major parties. Now, as President-elect, he is making good on that pledge — staffing senior positions with experts who buck Democratic orthodoxies in important ways.
This is greatly to the man’s credit. Yet Mr. Obama’s approach is proving to be a disappointment to the outer reaches of his own party, which find him far too inclusive and non-partisan for their tastes.
In the United States, as in Canada, the left side of the political spectrum always talks a good game about diversity, pluralism and inclusiveness. The catch is that they don’t really intend to indulge these values, except in alliance with people who share their opinions. Diversity is great when it means affirmative action and speech codes. But it goes too far when it strays into friendly relations with conservatives.
