How Obama outsmarts his critics -- on the left and on the right.

57. It's pretty appalling that so-called Progressives would be knocking the HUGE progress this President

has made. Especially after only 3 yrs in office. It's as if they hold Obama to a higher standard then any previous Democratic presidents simply because they casted a vote for a black man. All that matters to the hyper-progressives is that he must do twice as much, twice as often, twice as well - and half as aggressively - for half the credit. well, more like a ten times as much, it has been shown.

Should we undermine the most progressive-minded president in at least a generation and will his failure to attain a second term help or hurt the progressive cause? Will his failure pave the way for a more progressive president or a less progressive president? Yes, everyone has "pet" issues none of which Obama did negatively affects the daily life of working people. Nice try though.
