Carl Davidson, Tom Hayden, Bill Fletcher, Jr. and Barbara Ehrenrich are now responding to criticisms that they hood-winked people about Obama and accusing their critics of "splitting the movement."

    This is my response to them:
    
    Apparently none of you have read the many comments from the thousands of signers of this letter... what is coming through very clearly is that people are disappointed that you have been so dishonest in your portrayal of who Obama really is. This is the primary message, and apparently you are too arrogant to consider the views of the very people who you expect to read what you say and write. You have a credibility problem--- but, I think you know that now.
    
    The initial "wedge" was driven at the point you tried to mobilize people to vote for a Wall Street flim-flam man and con-artist who doesn't give two hoots about the lives of working people.
    
    Are there those at work now trying to drive another wedge and split our movements for peace, social and economic even further? Obviously, but you are the ones who handed them the wedge and the splitting maul.
