sound advice?

The time for hammering Obama on this is after the election, not before. If Obama loses, I guess it will make everyone feel good to hammer President Romney and the GOP Congress about it. But, I'd much rather be pressuring President Obama (in his second term when he doesn't have to give a shit what the wingnuts think) and the newly elected more progressive Democratic Congress.

2. Context is useful.

3. In what setting?

I tend to not censor myself when it comes to politics. So do they mean we shouldn't complain about Obama to our friends or in public? Sorry, I will decline that offer.
Or do they mean we should be quiet about disagreements we have with some of Obama's policies on message boards? Why? It's not like our little postings are really going to influence someone to not vote for Obama...

4. By comparison, LBJ got soundly pushed to left

and won in a landslide in 1964. If the republican's keep obstructing, finding themselves on the statistically unpopular sides of social, and environmental issues, and keep fielding clown candidates (and dangerous: bring back the Daisy ads!), then Obama could repeat the '64 victory. Pushing left, will hopefully also bring in more progressive congressmen and senators. I think standing still runs the risk of stagnation, and loss of public confidence that the president actually has the power to change things for the better.
