81. Good point, but you're wrong when you assert that the attacks are only from the left.
Most of the attacks are from the middle and Independents. As much as we progressives/liberals want to believe otherwise, we can't win elections on our own. We need Independents who are flocking to Republicans.

So the president's hands are tied. And as much as I've been incredibly disappointed and angry with him and the Democrats, they are being pulled from many different directions.

The president/Dems need better messaging. They need to find a way to get this narrative out to the public. With a Corporate Media that allows so much airtime to Republicans and Sarah Palin, I don't see how we can overcome the beast.

Therefore, we're stuck. We're already defeated if we can't do a better job on getting the message out.

So, I see what you're saying, but an overwhelming majority of liberals--85%--still support the president. Liberals are his greatest problem. Independents are.
