1) "very happy with him and the honeymoon goes on!" His opinion, how can that be incorrect?
2) "I don't think the rightwing understands that so far President Obama is not some extremist but moderate in what he has done so far." Again, an opinion, how can that be incorrect?
3) "Of course it remains to be seen" What's incorrect about this?
4) "and with a 60+% approval most of the country agrees." This is aso correct.
What EXACTLY does the "title of this thread" prove?
LOL

#2- I believe it is understood he is not some extremist NOW. During the campaign- especially the primaries he had many liberal stances on issues. It is the same thing in every election the campaigner becomes an elected official and they moderate to some degree. The base is almost always let down when they see the agenda can not be forced through. and I am not saying it is a bad thing. the title was written by a right winger I believe? So at least some of the right wingers understand.
During his campaign, President Obama made many promises to the Left. Do you think they are satisfied with him so far?
I think Obama is laughing at the American anti-war movement...
Satisfied yes, completely no.
The President have made some moves that i'm not satisfied with, slow movement on immigrations and outsourced jobs are just two major items that i wished he would make bigger moves on this year. I know its early in his Presidency, but this is a HOT item.

OK, I'll buy this explanation...sorta.
1. Are some of the more extreme liberals dissapointed? Probably. But "some people" is not the same as the left as a whole. The OP addressed the left as a whole.
I don't really care about anyone who's disappointed that Obama did not turn out to be an extreme liberal, because people who believed that he would didn't bother to read his policies. If you choose to believe crazy claims that float around, you deserve to be disappointed when the crazy claims don't come true. (Strangely, the claims about Obama being extremely liberal were mostly started by the GOP--they backfired, IMO because they didn't really scare voters, but they ended up attracting extreme liberals to Obama.)
2. Do some of the right wingers now understand he is not some extremist? Probably. LOL, it's hard to tell judging by the bashing you read on this forum, but we all know this forum doesn't represent reality.
In reality, I think a lot of republicans are beginning to relax and realize the president is not an extremist, no matter how much he was portrayed as one. He's not perfect, either. He's just another politician like all the others.
Bush created the biggest increase in government in decades with Homeland Security and the contracting out of services to Cheney's buddies at Halliburton and its subsidiaries.
Don't let that fact get in your way because it doesn't meet your agenda.

This will affect the ability of Obama to expand gov't programs in general. We need to find more ways to deal with healthcare,poverty and retirement that don't overly rely on taxes.

Being that his poll numbers are still way up, the answer has to be yes, no matter how much the opposition may wish it to be otherwise. Give it another try 2 years from now and you may fair better, or maybe not.
