What has the newly ordained Professional Left done to deserve such scourge from Gibbs and the admin.?

I am truly curious to know.

Truly? You truly wish to know? Okay. Fine.

The hard left asked for a dozen rainbow ponies. The administration scratches and claws and fights, and gets ten ponies. But every chance they get, they scream Betraaaaaayeeed!!!! because they didn't get their other two ponies!!!!.




Medicare for All.

We got, on a bare 60-vote filibuster breaking, all the egregious abuses of the Insurance companies stopped, and the ability to push Medicare for All on the State level through a State-waver system written into the law. Single Payer is one successful ballot initiative away.

Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!



No pre-emptive war.

The President is pulling us out of Iraq, the pre-emptive war GWB started. He is staying in Afghanistan, to keep the Taliban and Al Quaeda out, which attacked us (and therefore isn't preemptive war)

Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!



No rendition.

You mean "extraordinary rendition". Regular rendition is also called "extradition"; we have extradition treaties with many countries. One of President Obama's first acts as President was to issue an executive order to end this unlawful practice.


Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!



I would like to see the ERA passed some day.

The President has expressed no opposition to this. You just need 2/3rds of the House, Senate, and State Legislatures to vote yes. This means getting the GOP substantially on board.

Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!



I believe in a womans right to choice.

President Obama has nominated two women to the Supreme Court.


Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!



I support a strong public school system.
I support teachers.
I support unions.

They just sent billions of dollars to schools.

Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!


I want DADT gone.

Obama backs 'don't ask, don't tell' compromise that could pave way for repeal.

Happy? No. Of course not. Betraaaaaayeeed!!!!


I believe in the right for all to marry.

That's judicial. Let's refer back to his supreme court nominees.


No wire tapping of citizens.

I hope, again, you mean to say, no wiretapping of citizens within the U.S. without a court order. I'll give you this one, since the President hasn't followed through on his implicit promises. The public backs the President's position however. He's still fighting Congress to close Guantanamo, since Congress apparently believes that a handful of disgruntled terrorist yokels have super-villian powers or something.


I would like to see the people who gave orders to torture be prosecuted.

He ruled that out during the campaign. Cry in disappointment that the U.S. judicial system hasn't been politicized more, if you want, but don't go screaming Betrayed.


Don't anyone dare to screw with SS.
I wish policies focused more on main street, v wall street.

So far, there's no evidence this has happened.



Again, the President has pushed and pushed and pushed for policies which are likely going to bite him (and Congress) in the ass come election time. But instead of recognizing this, the hard left, as Gibbs so correctly noted, wouldn't be happy if Kucinich was President. They'd be screaming at him even worse.

And anyone with even an ounce of integrity would admit it, too.
