I hadn't noticed any progressives who wanted Obama to "fail," so I must have missed that.
As a progressive, I guess I've been under the mistaken impression that other people who call themselves progressives have had the highest hopes for this presidency--but they are the ones who actually voice disappointment when those hopes are shattered and call bullshit for what it is. They're the ones who actually hold the president to a higher standard instead of just accepting every broken and insincere promise as part of some "higher plan" that is "too complex" for average mortals to understand. Secret deals with pharmaceutical companies? NO PROBLEM! Actively fighting reinstatement of habeas corpus? GOTTA LOVE IT! Actively fighting same-sex benefits for federal employees? YAY! GO TEAM GO!
