The Far Left to Obama - Can You Hear Us Now?

I thought it might be interesting to find out how the far left liberal wing of the democart party views Obama at this point in time and I came across this essay by David Michael Green, a professor of political science at Hofstra University in New York, who is a very liberal progresive.

Professor Green's essay, How to Squander the Presidency in One Year - Hey, Conan Obama: How About Now? Can You Hear Us Now? , was recently published at commondreams.org and is to say, much more intensely angry than any article I have seen written about Obama by anyne on the right!

What follows is just a snippet of Professor Green's essay...

Barack Obama has now, in just a year's time, become the single most inept president perhaps in all of American history, and certainly in my lifetime. Never has so much political advantage been pissed away so rapidly, and what's more in the context of so much national urgency and crisis. It's astonishing, really, to contemplate how much has been lost in a single year… He's got zero leverage over his own party in Congress now. As for the public, it's gonna be pretty hard to now market himself as the great enemy of the people's enemies, when he's just finished a year of making secret sweetheart deals that benefit Wall Street bankers, health insurance pirates, and pharmaceutical predators, all while leaving his own base and the public he's supposed to be serving out in the rain.. Of course, I don't give a SH** about Barack Obama anymore, other than my desire that really ugly things happen to him as payment in kind for the grandest act of betrayal we've seen since Benedict Arnold did his thing… Dante said "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality". Better stock up on the mist sprayers, Barack.

Could there be trouble in paradise?
