Not that he has done anything to deserve it but GOP has made itself a Lunatic fringe Party that can't draw more than 23%

The hundreds of thousands, even millions of Republicans who have walked away from the GOP leaving the Limbaugh Lemmings in charge. Right now there are more independents than Republicans.

Anybody who believes nonsense like this doesn't deserve an answer. It's exactly like debating a creationist. Those idiots are not interested in truth or reality.

It is funny to watch the wishful thinkers here.
I agree with this. But Obama is in a sense skating on thin ice. He seems to have traded in the progressive agenda of his Democratic candidate days, in favor of center-right policies. It was the progressives who formed the backbone of his campaign and their has been a growing sense of betrayal, as Obama has one-by-one forsaken progressive agendas.

Obama must address and deal with this very important section of his supporters or come 2012 they will simply take their votes to more traditional progressive candidates like the Green party or the various Socialists parties.

For me personally, Obama must deliver on Healthcare or I'm through.

His policies are not liberal, they are center-right. To believe anything else simply demonstrates ignorance concerning US political/economy. You don't know what you are talking about.
