Unlikely Critics?

" President Obama has been getting a lot of criticism lately and not just from the right. Liberals and others who feel they hadn't been paid back for helping put President Obama in the White House.

" It started here on Saturday Night Live the mainstream mocking of President Obama it's very clear what I've done so far and that is. Nothing this -- says conservatives should be happy and liberals in rage now. I'm sure they thought I would -- addressed at least one of the following things by now global warming no immigration reform no. Gays in the military you know -- Limits on executive powers no. Torture prosecutions net. Still looking at this list I'm seeing it too big accomplishments. Jack and -- liberal columnists and bloggers now openly questioned mr. Obama's fine and decisiveness. The nation a clarion of the progressive movement ran a blog labeling the president winery in chief. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen said mr. Obama quote inspires a lot of affection but not a lot of law. Liberal talk show host bill press says unease on the left is real."

Irritation on the left could increase for mr. Obama if -- boost combat troops in Afghanistan and passes the healthcare reform without that government financed public option. Then irritation may spread from editorial pages and blog posts where it is now to the halls of congress and could be problematic many democratic say. In the mid term elections -- major."
