Obama's been bashed lately with some of the most ridiculous, over-the-top, bat-shit crazy accusations from Bush's former cheerleaders, but at the same time, he's losing the left because he doesn't seem to want the change we're all desperately waiting for.

Let me repeat one phrase there loud and clear: doesn't seem to want

I think we can all agree that he's got an uphill battle to fight.

I think we can all agree that whatever Beck and Limbaugh have to say is utter, unforgivable bullshit.

I think we do all agree that the change we want can't happen overnight.

But appointments, public statements, policies that he's already committed to aren't pointing in the right direction and the short time he's been in office doesn't excuse those.

As I posted elsewhere, Obama is...

* Against looking into BushCo's crimes
* Against ending the War On Drugs
* Escalating the war in Afghanistan
* Against the only form of health-care that works
* Continuing the border fence that Bush started
* Continuing signing statements
* Continuing Warrantless Wiretapping
* Possibly helping the financial sector rob us of the last few bucks in the treasury

That's not a matter of having too little time or too little cooperation. Those are all bad decisions.
