Remember George W video "Some call you Elite I call you My Base" - Where is Obama's for his base?

There is only stinging replies that say that we are the "greedy" ones, that we are the "professional left", that we are not appreciative enough.

This is a good article on this issue:

WH 2012: The professional left better learn to live with disappointment
By Sam Youngman - 12/01/10 09:49 AM ET

White House officials do not expect liberal commentators who view President Obama as the compromiser-in-chief to lessen their criticism of the administration in the coming two years....

Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, warned of just that on Tuesday, saying that the midterms should be a “wake-up call” for Obama.

“President Obama shouldn’t be worried about criticism from ‘the professional left,’ ” Taylor said. “He should be worried about criticism from millions of former Obama voters who are severely disappointed in him right now. The fact is that many former Obama voters stayed home in 2010, and unless he starts enacting the popular progressive change he campaigned on, they may stay home again in 2012.”

If members of the left are holding out hope that Obama will come around to their reading of the midterms, they had better learn to live with disappointment. And Obama had better hope disappointment doesn’t lead to disengagement.

The media knows how to tug, and PCCC's statement completely misreads mid-term voter turnout.

4. I am his base ...

I like the guy plenty, and I get most of what he has done ...

This is a MAJOR screwup ...

He mucked bullets with someone looking cross eyed at him with an off suit 2 and 7 ...

Have to see how it looks when it comes time for the Rs to put their lunatic on the ticket, but he missed a rare moment when the right thing was a clear political winner, and left him able to REALLY draw a GOOD line between us and them ...
