Governing is a helluva lot harder than most Lefties are kvetching about. In their FireBaggerLake La-la world, Glenn Greenwald is a Liberal, Ron Paul is God and can do no wrong, and that black man in the White House is an affront to Democrats. They conveniently forget Obama IS the MOST progressive president since LBJ - and yeah, that includes DLC Clinton - and considering what Congress a horrible filibuster-happy, obstructionist congress we have, that's pretty damn good.
I'll take Obama over Harry any day. Then again, I'm not lost in Ron Paul or brainwashed by Obamahater Hamsher, and I understand the political reality President Obama has to face day in, day out. But as most blacks will tell you here in America, their best is never enough.
