The President has a short memory

We saw this during the Bush admin, and a lot of that was probably loyalty to a president in war time, so soon after 9/11. But during Bush's second term he caught hell from both sides. Some of it was obviously because he was not in danger of not being reelected, but also because he started to push his big government policies in his second term, and the debt was starting to balloon out of control and could no longer be ignored.

Maybe 0bama will start meeting with more honest criticism from the left, over the next few years, but I am not optimistic that the blinders will be coming off anytime soon.

I agree.

The left's criticism of Obama's mistakes, lies, distortions, broken promises and etc...has been negligible and it's absence is making him a poor president.

Then it went to Congress who set up a committee to cut 1.2 trillion which also failed. This is the result we are in now. The President is one man, either Republican or Democrat, and he can only sign what is put on his desk.

You realize that your own party, the moon-bat league in the senate, didn't even support his "suggestions"? They sucked so bad that not a SINGLE person in your party supported his budget proposal/solution. For Christs sake your own party thinks he's a moron.
