    The problem with Barack

    Is that the furthest left fringe can't find a handhold to him. Sure the GOP lost the election and there's reason to cheer, but the lefty left, the Salon left, the faux Marxist left, the people with Daddy Issues, take that, wrongly, as a mandate that Obama is the new Che/Lumumba. Which he's not. So anything he does that doesn't sound like he's a Shining Path Maoist insurgent, they're going to be very angry. I wouldn't worry about it too too much.
