This guy was co-chair of Obama's 2008 campaign. wow.

Former Dem Artur Davis, Squarely in Romney's Corner | RealClearPolitics

Four summers ago, then-Democratic Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama delivered a nominating speech in support of Barack Obama. The Illinois senator's election as party standard-bearer “takes us closer to becoming what we know America can be," he said at the Denver convention.

But times have changed in the intervening years -- especially for Davis himself. Now a Virginia Republican, he spent part of Thursday afternoon at the home of a Northern Virginia family talking about how Obama failed the country on the economy, and how he believes presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney is best equipped to revive it.

The former congressman recalled Obama’s campaign pledges to rein in government spending and lessen the country’s dependence on credit. “Those were powerful sounding, tough words from a Democratic candidate in 2007 and 2008 who was trying, frankly, to reach out to the center,” Davis said. “Well, I think we all know, four years later, candidate Obama has been a very different person than President Obama.”

wow... not a single libtard response on this. I would have at least expected something like 'he's never been a real Democrat' or some other disparagement. Hard to malign him when he essentially ran Obama's election campaign in 2008, huh.

Just shows how badly Obama has disappointed the Democrats.
