4. a lot of naive new voters are pissed at obama (and a lot of trolls)
some are new because they're young, some are new because they were lazy and not interested in politics enough to vote until obama came along (all pols are the same).

some weren't paying attention to republican tactics the last couple of decades and expected super obama to walk into the white billionaires white house and kick ass- thats naive.

maybe some really are highly principled and don't believe in compromise. like my friend for whom all politicians are the same and won't eat cheese with soft plastic wrap under any circumstances because of the chemicals but with do a 12 or 18 pack of cheap canned beer, no problem, with cigarettes.

either way, it is impossible to evaluate obama honestly as long as the left ignores right wing radio, the culprit behind most of these disasters and forcing these compromises. the right's strength is heavily tied to the left ignoring talk radio because it hurts their heads to listen to it. it is the right's most important weapon and there is NO organized challenge to it.
