DEAR LEFT-WING: IT'S NOT OBAMA. IT'S THE LEFTISM, STUPID!

THE LEFT ISN'T HAPPY WITH OBAMA:
The Note:
Jane Hamsher: Obama in ‘Trouble Across the Board’ with Liberals — ABC News' Rick Klein reports: With White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs lashing out at President Obama's liberal critics, a card-carrying member of Gibbs' “professional left” joined us on ABC/Washington Post's “Top Line” today.

The Huffington Post:
Gibbs Stands By His ‘Professional Left’ Critique, Expects Liberals To Vote In 2010 — WHAT'S YOUR REACTION? — Speaking publicly for the first time since he disparaged the “professional left,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said he stands by his comments, has no plans to resign …
Sam Youngman / The Hill:

Depressed Democratic Turnout Portends Rotten November
THE LEFT'S UNHAPPINESS IS MISPLACED.

THE PROBLEM ISN'T - AS THEY FEEL - THAT OBAMA HAS BEEN TOO CENTRIST.

THE REAL PROBLEM IS TWO-FOLD:

  • FIRST, OBAMA'S LEFTIST POLICIES HAVE MADE THINGS WORSE.

  • SECOND, OBAMA'S LEFTIST POLICIES HAVE PROVEN THAT OBAMA HAS BEEN MORE LEFTIST AS PRESIDENT THAN OBAMA THE CANDIDATE WAS - AND THIS HAS ALSO UPSET THE INDEPENDENTS WHO WERE DUPED INTO THINKING THAT OBAMA WAS A MODERATE.

HAD OBAMA BEEN EVEN MORE LEFTIST - HAD HE BEEN AS LEFTIST AS HIS CRITICS ON THE LEFT DESIRE - THEN THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN WORSE ON BOTH COUNTS:

  1. THE COUNTRY WOULD BE DOING EVEN WORSE
  2. AND THE INDEPENDENTS WOULD BE EVEN MORE PISSED OFF!

IOW: OBAMA IS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE LEFT:

  • INSTEAD OF LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND ADMITTING THAT THEIR LEFTIST POLICIES SUCK, LEFTISTS ARE BLAMING OBAMA.

  • THIS IS LIKE HOW LEFTISTS USED TO EXCUSE THE USSR'S HORRORS ... BY SAYING THAT THE USSR WASN'T REAL COMMUNISM.
BOTTOM LINE: IT'S NOT OBAMA. IT'S THE LEFTISM, STUPID!
