STOP IT! Give the guy a break. Any so-called "progressive" who expected Obama to sweep in on YOUR agenda and run rough-shod over everyone in his way, GROW UP. That's not the way the world works.
I worked for Obama because he is smart and well-spoken and thinks things through, all the qualities that have been disastrously missing in the current occupant. I remember how, all through the campaign, people (those Progressives again?) were wringing their hands and complaining because Obama was or wasn't doing what they thought he should be doing or not doing, and guess what, he ignored them and he won.
What will drive me to despair in the next months and years will be to see Obama attacked by the hate-filled right and the disappointed left. We don't need it, folks. Let him govern and save your wrath for the obstructionist Republicans.
