Liberals Angry Obama Isn't Moving Further Left
He’s failed to bridge the partisan devide with Republicans, who feel the new administration has gone too far with one of the largest spending plans in U.S. history.
Now President Barack Obama may be facing a revolt on his left flank by liberals who feel he’s not going far enough.

Thea Lee, policy director of the AFL-CIO, said, "We would like to have him stand more forthrightly behind the positions that he took during the campaign."

At the ACLU, Executive Director Anthony D. Romero said his group's disappointment was "deep and unparalleled" after the Justice Department decided to keep in place one of the most controversial legal tactics of the Bush anti-terrorism arsenal: using the "state secrets" doctrine to block lawsuits by detainees.
And at the American United for Separation of Church and State, officials are very disappointed at what has amounted to only a slight revision of the Bush faith-based initiatives. Many were already reeling over the decision to include evangelical minister Rick Warren in the inauguration ceremonies.

He's working pretty hard at making Carter look good by comparison.

The new "liberal porkus bill" which sets back welfare to the carter administration and gives millions to "community organizing" isn't governing from the Left? Insulting England isn't governing from the Left? Letting the government run and micro-manage private enterprise isn't governing from the Left?
All he has done so far is govern from the extreme left. It is the extreme EXTREME Leftists that are concerned that he hasn't just put his face over Lincoln's and put tanks in the capital mall and told everyone they will now be "comrades" or else that is disappointed.

I think it comes after act V in an opera.

By our standards yes, but I'm talking of the view of "Left" and "Right" as so-called Progressive Democrats posting on DU and KOS see them, and by those lights even the Porculus bill, despite all the handouts and increased government intrusion in it, is at best Centrist or even slightly Right-of-center to their brain-damaged perceptions.

Huh? I thought Obama was really far left like him. :mental: Anyways, when the left are angry, I get happier. :evillaugh:
