Democrat Dan Boren Calls Barack 'Too Liberal', Won't Endorse Him

Politik Ditto, a black conservative Democratic blogger who supports Sen. John McCain for president, writes: "Barack Obama not only has to worry about the GOP tactics, John McCain and angry Hillary supporters if he wants to be elected President come November, but also apparently the ramifications of his extremely liberal record, which is being called out by of all people, a fellow Democrat [and U.S. representative from Oklahoma]...Let's face it when you have a record drenched in solely supporting liberal propaganda as Barack does, you're bound to be called on it. You just don't expect it from fellow party members. Yet, the fact of the matter is liberals are ones who screamed for years that President Bush was only interested in the needs of his base before the Democrats took over Congress in 2006. Yet, using their own argument, what does it say about a man who wants to be President, that he has never shown any interest in bipartisanship throughout his years in the Senate? The McCain camp would do well to exploit this matter, a concern that gains serious traction what with the endorsement of a Democrat."

My response: It should be pointed out that Rep. Boren will vote for Sen. Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August. Isn't that a de facto endorsement? I've said that one of Sen. Obama's weaknesses is that he has no significant record of bipartisanship, even though he is preaching unity. The nuclear proliferation bill with Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Indiana) is pretty much it.
