    Default Liberals want Obama to be a king, not a president

    New York (CNN) -- Can liberals ever be happy? I keep asking myself this question as I hear an increasing number complaining about President Obama.

    There seems to be a Greek chorus of liberal whining: "I'm disappointed by him." "I expected more." "I thought he would be different."

    Earlier this week, singer Jackson Browne, a vocal 2008 Obama supporter, lamented that President Obama is "...just as beholden to the people who put him in office as any of the Republicans would be."

    Matt Damon, who had very publicly supported Obama in 2008, has now very publicly attacked President Obama. Damon even went so far as to heap praise on former President Bush, saying: "I would kiss George W. Bush on the mouth" in appreciation for his work fighting AIDS in Africa. Although Damon did note his kiss of Bush would be limited to: "Three seconds, no tongue."

    Others turning on Obama include John Cusack, comedian/actor Jon Lovitz, and even the distinguished professor Cornel West, who called Obama: "A black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats."

    A new Gallup Poll released this week found that President Obama's support among liberals was at its lowest point in seven months, although it's still a solid majority of 70%.

    What's clear is that the liberals speaking out don't want a president, they want a king. Albeit a liberal king -- but still a king, who would be unrestrained by Congress as well as the checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution.

    These disenchanted liberals apparently wanted Obama -- upon taking office -- to have instantly transformed every campaign promise into law by the simple wave of a pen. Or maybe they would have preferred Obama to have walked out onto a White House balcony where, in a scene reminiscent of the musical "Evita," he would be greeted by adoring throngs waiting below, and on the spot, declare that all his ideas were now the law of the land.

    Obama says private sector 'doing fine,' then Standard & Poor keeps downgrade, negative outlook

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...-avert-crisis/

    "8.2% unemployment is just fine. No, wait it's Europe's fault, no the Republican's, I mean Bush's, what was I saying?" Sounds like his Teleprompter got hacked.

    Liberals Threaten Not To Vote In November Over Disappointment With Obama




    So if a liberal decides not to vote is that an automatic for vote for the rethuglicans? I wonder who these people would "write in" on the ballot instead of voting for Obama?

    well I just found out in the estonia thread that the stimulus worked, we had a recovery, and we should have spent more money. So maybe Barry is right, things are going great.

    I've been knockin' on the door that holds the throne
    I've been lookin' for the map that leads me home
    I've been stumblin' on good hearts turned to stone
    The road of good intentions has gone dry as bone
    We take care of our own
    We take care of our own
    Wherever this flag's flown
    We take care of our own

    From Chicago to New Orleans
    From the muscle to the bone
    From the shotgun shack to the Superdome
    We yelled "help" but the cavalry stayed home
    There ain't no-one hearing the bugle blown
    We take care of our own
    We take care of our own
    Wherever this flag's flown
    We take care of our own
    Where the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
    Where the hearts, that run over with mercy
    Where's the love that has not forsaken me
    Where's the work that set my hands, my soul free
    Where's the spirit that'll reign, reign over me
    Where's the promise, from sea to shining sea
    Where's the promise, from sea to shining sea
    Wherever this flag is flown
    Wherever this flag is flown
    Wherever this flag is flown

    We take care of our own
    We take care of our own
    Wherever this flag's flown
    We take care of our own
    We take care of our own
    We take care of our own
    Wherever this flag's flown
    We take care of our own

    [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bruce+s..._20999721.html ]

    This is the song played at Obama campaign stops.
    This is a bitter anthem crafted for a political moment that, for progressives like Springsteen, demands cruel clarity. The way its hook — the seeming don't-tread-on-me sentiment of the title line — plays against other lines like "I been stumbling on good hearts turned to stone/The road of good intentions has gone dry as bone" or "We yelled 'help' but the cavalry stayed home" is pure Boss. Just as he did on "Born In the U.S.A.," "Glory Days" and even 2009's beautiful "Girls In Their Summer Clothes," http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2...social-protest

    The Left wanted Barry to be a "liberal" dictator who would have a mandate to do whatever he wanted. All of those screaming masses in 2007/08 who saw him as some kind of messianic figure painted a scary picture where people put aside rational behavior in favor of cult worship.
