It ain't pretty.

RT @emptywheel: To be fair, about only Progressives who have gotten O's attention--on DADT, even if no win yet--are those who took themselves hostage at WH.

RT @poopaltar Obama: Call me a Nazi, we'll deal. Vote for me, fuck you. Hold the country hostage? How much you want.

RT @brianbeutler: Dear @joshtpm. I've been taken hostage. They seem serious. Please send $10,000 to my paypal account so I can issue ransom.

RT @peterdaou Why does it escape Dems that it's good politics & good policy not to water down your principles but to fiercely defend them?

RT @Atrios: fuck the left, they don't vote for us anyway

RT @JoeSudbay: Yes, two years in to the Obama presidency, we do need to know what his core values are.

RT @HunterDK: Shorter Obama: It's your own damn fault for believing in me.

RT @ThisBowers: If you don't have a way to win the next fight, don't give in on this one. There is no plan for victory in the future, at all.

RT @ggreenwald most intense passion Obama exhibits is when he gets to explain why Left is so misguided: he really lights up; it's inspiring

RT @marcslove I wish Obama would express half the anger he expressed at his disappointed base today towards the Republicans.

RT @HunterDK: Yes, it's the liberals' fault again. if we'd just shut up America could be governed completely by GOP ideas, which would be much easier.

RT @pourmecoffee What the GOP just heard: "Find hostage for Social Security and entitlement cuts."

RT @mattyglesias: Obama presser seemed like open invitation for progressive members of congress to try to hold this deal hostage in hope of more concessions.

RT @Devilstower: Please don't allow Obama to be my negotiator if I'm ever taken hostage. Thanks.

RT @Atrios: so i guess i should take some hostages

RT @brianbeutler: Obama: This is like the public option fight all over again where I caved and opposed the thing that reduced the deficit.

RT @AdamSerwer: But you know, day after reversing one of your biggest campaign promises probably not a good time to slam your base

RT @DavidCornDC: If I were a pundit, I'd predict this will be a turning point in Obama presidency, esp. re his relationship with his base.

RT @kombiz: my big problem with deal is not extending UI during deep recession has become the new normal and not seen as radical

RT @DavidCornDC: The strategic intent of this press briefing should have been for O to say he got the best of the Rs. That's not what came out of this.

RT @kausmickey Dude is way too sensitive to left blogosphere and NYT ed page.

RT @DavidCornDC He had a point? Messaging disaster--the public is with me but I have to give in, anyway?

RT @HunterDK Someone start up a series of YouTube videos called "It Will Not Get Better" for Obama.

1. Hope Prez doesn't read C&L..Whew...Large, large percentage wants

to run a challenger in '12, if not no doorbells rung or flyers given out. It's rough out there.

[hlthe2b]

3. Wow... yes... just looked 70% are voting YES to primary challenge

those unintended consequences may come back to bite all of us...

[hlthe2b]

[Lucky 13]

16. Pardon my ignorance... What is C&L?

I guess I heard wrong

13. IT is NOT just DU

people are pissed. Hey, I am angry... hubby is really, really pissed. He is even talking green party. which in California is truly a protest vote. He is THAT pissed.

[Tatiana]

17. Exactly. You will not find a left-of-center online community that is not majorly pissed off now.

This is seriously a class war and the guy we picked to lead the fight is fighting for wrong side.

[DearAbby]

14. Americans do not take other Americans as Hostage

when is Obama going to learn this?

[Poboy]

15. RT @DavidCornDC says,

'He had a point? Messaging disaster--"the public is with me but I have to give in, anyway?"'

Interesting comments. All these comments express my feelings as well. Wide and deep.

[somone]

18. "Shorter Obama: It's your own damn fault for believing in me."

Priceless
