U.S. liberals: Time to make Obama uncomfortable By John Whitesides John Whitesides 15 mins ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Nineteen months after celebrating President Barack Obama's historic election win, disappointed liberal activists promised on Monday to turn up the political heat on a White House they said is too quick to compromise.
At an annual conference of grassroots progressives, they said the euphoria and high expectations after Obama's victory had lulled them into a false sense of security, and hopes for his success had sometimes limited their criticism.
That has changed, they said, because of what they called Obama's go-easy approach on Wall Street, ineffectual efforts to reduce high unemployment, watered-down healthcare and financial regulation reforms and escalation of the Afghanistan war.
"It is not our job to make this president or this administration comfortable. It is our job to make him do the right thing," said Darcy Burner, head of the Progressive Congress Action Fund.
"There were far too many of us who thought our job was done" after the election, she said.

HA!
what? they are upset that he is NOT LIBERAL ENOUGH????????????????
That’s the problem, these Liberals still have jobs while the rest of the country is unemployed.
on a White House they said is too quick to compromise.
WTF?
HOW has he compromised and with whom?
He shut out Republicans totally and did whatever he wanted with his runaway COngress.
Ooh! I do LIKE this plan!
Ramp if up, hivemind! RAMP IT UP!
They want a dictator. Period.
Unnngh!
That’s right...IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH...socialized health care? Not enough. Union thugs over legal bond holders? Not enough. More debt in one year than every other administration combined? Not enough. Two far left Supreme Court justices? Not enough. Cap and Tax? Not enough. Higher minimum wage resulting in less jobs for unskilled? Not enough.
You get the idea.
Moonbats mad at Obozo because he’s not radically liberal enough for them.
Imagine the smell in that conference room with all those unwashed feet in Berkenstocks.
Parking lot filled with Prius’s and Volvo’s.
When are the libs going to wake up and realize that Obama doesn’t give a damn what they think either?
Ironic that the only way they can get one of theirs in power is if he lies about his beliefs (or they deny his beliefs),
then once they get into power, they can’t do what the left wants them to do because they’ll get thrown right back out again.
That’s just the beginning.
Once they get the power to do so,
they will use the power of the state to exterminate
anyone that disagrees with them.
I love the smell of roasted donkey in the morning.
go for it. Drive him right off the cliff please.
We're not in shackles, or dead. That's about all his most ardent followers would wish upon us. They hate conservatism and Christianity. Until we all go away, they will not be appeased.
they are all with Woody Allen on this one. They all feel Barry should have assumed dictatorial powers and ushered in the Age of Aquarius by now.
The whole gang can ship themselves off to Gaza to live among like-minded radicals.
eeewww
Yeah, where are our Obama homes, cars, free money etc. etc? We're still getting bills to pay for crying out loud!
To them that un-Constitutional power grab just didn't go far enough!
