With the list of President Obama's policy and political successes growing daily a conundrum

10. Professional left

I suspect you are refering to what the administration called the "professional left". Basically, people who can only garner attention when they are discussing short comings. If you write a blog, or have some sort of marginal webcast, you're probably not going to get alot of attention saying "ain't this great". Unless one has unique or exceptional knowledge of a topic, they can bring little at all to the discussion. People whose daily activity is to comment, don't necessarily have alot of time for research into the topics upon which they comment. "True" professionals have staff to do their research. A guy blogging from his basement doesn't have that time so unless they already work in a specific topic area, all they know is what they can read from one day to the next. And they probably can't read very sophisticated sources either. So half of what they read is probably wrong.
