The kids at DailyKos.com, the most lunatic, far-left site on the web, are becoming a bit disenchanted with their glorious leader. And it’s reflected in comments of the embittered members. BuckeyeTexan at FreeRepublic.com held his nose and dug through the site to compile a sampling of 19 quotes, and has posted them in the Freeper forum. Here they are in their entirety. Enjoy.
I don’t understand Obama’s MOA, or something. Maybe he is weak, on a slow learning curve, maybe he will surprise us in all those wonderful ways. I don’t know anymore, and the bitterness I am hearing in these comments I can understand.

What bothers me is that Obama seems to believe his own hype about post-partisanship.

We are stuck with him now …

What good has it done having 60 Senate and 265 House seats? Might as well have had 55 and 240–the higher numbers have made zero difference which is especially troubling to watch when in theory it should be providing us significant reforms with a (formerly) very very popular president with a clear mandate. Obama has squandered that opportunity time and again, to the point where clearly Congress does not fear him and hardly respects him. He is governing like he won by 1 point, not like he won in a landslide. The coat-tails meant nothing in the end if he is totally unwilling to impose his will on a Congress that his party controls by huge margins, it’s absolutely pathetic to watch. And if this continues 2010 will be a disaster.

He didn’t win in a landslide, and he ONLY won because many Republicans voted for Obama, rather than McCain, whom they considered a RINO. Without the Republican vote, McCain would have won. Check the stats! … The people who planned this coup are idiots, as you all now can plainly see. Hopefully we won’t have to wait four years to change up the playing field.

And if this continues 2010 will be a disaster. Boy, isn’t that an understatement. Even if we lose two senate seats it will be perceived as a disaster.

Well I’m not giving up just yet either after 7 months, however the way things are going I think I will eventually. Time will tell, but the signs are anything but good. The administration’s performance thus far either points to unbelievable naivete or this was the plan all along in which case everyone got conned. Both prospects are equally bad.

record of what? he didn’t stand behind his words. Back them up, don’t cave to the pressure. Each day gets worse. Yah, we’re getting change alright.

Obama is a weak, weak, people pleasing man. The only trouble is, he spends all his time trying to please the powerful, rather than the constituents that worked hard for him and voted him into office.

This is like Carter redux.

I’m 64 and its the the most cowardly I have ever seen! … How did we ever elect this eunuch? I have to confess my blame as well.

A gutless administration. No one in this White-house has what it takes. I truly feel its downhill from here on.
- by Voodoo king on Sat Sep 05, 2009 at 10:00:10 PM PDT
Yup. With this, I’m given one less reason to give the President my vote when he runs for reelection. If he can’t stand up to the likes of Glenn Beck, where does that leave us?

Gutless. Hey, where did that guy go that made that fierce speech in Chicago post being elected? Quite the vanishing act. Only took a few weeks to become like every other politician. What gives? Did we read him wrong from the start? He has disappointed in every possible manner. The only change I see is in color and grammar. Disappointed? That does not even begin to cover my feelings.

Fight back for a white-house that doesn’t fight for itself. Give it a rest. It’s a pity, if only I could turn back time I’ll do things differently.

Wack jobs. My head is spinning. Where did that fierce “community organizer” go? We now have Mr. Complacency. This latest resignation shows that this man will do everything to garner favor with the right wing nut jobs. I find it hard to believe he did not realize who voted for him? It wasn’t the gun, bible and what nots that put him in office. Good luck in 2012 Mr. Obama if you don’t grow a pair. I want a refund.

You’re so right crazy like a fox. If I said the things on my mind about how I feel about Obama and his administration this september night I’ll probably just get banned from this site. But I’ll say this, I believe health care reform is dead. This guys just don’t have what it takes. They’re living in a bubble. They have a disdain for progressives, including the president I believe.

If I could vote again in the primary I would vote for Hillary Clinton today. Yes I said I would vote for Hillary. I don’t care anymore about this administration.

For all the good it would have done me. If I could vote again, I’d vote for Kucinich. It wouldn’t have made a difference, but I wouldn’t have quite so profound a disappointment as I currently have.

Oh they're just upset because Obama hasn't managed to make their country leftist enough yet.
I thought the funeral for public option would send them to their deaths, too bad, that would have been my option. The dailykos creeps are twisted, they come off like little sissies when they don't get their way.
I am a reader of the KOS daily, these creepy people are nuts.
When they realized they were not going to get their precious public option, they had an all out funeral, mourning with emotional suffering.
When will you all learn that most of these politicians don't really care about the people who elect them to office? This is for both political parties. They only care about getting there and having the power of the office. Once there they make money off the lobbyists and the big corporations that helped elect them. The people no longer matter after the vote is taken, they depend on you staying asleep and revoting them in when the country is zooming along.
We need term limits and politicians who answer to us! Not those with the most money.
One of my colleagues was expressing a similar regret the other day. He essentially said he made a mistake and should have done a great deal more research into the candidate he voted for as he never would have voted for the current agenda. I told him I am not the kind of guy to say "I told you so", smiled, and walked on.
It seems to me that much of what these writers lament was predictable. The lack of a genuine record, no executive experience, and his penchant for staging pronouncements rather than presenting persuasive arguments, all pointed to an inability to actually lead. I wonder how his supporters missed all of that. I believe that they saw only what they wanted to see and made their decisions based on their perception and dreams instead of critical thinking. The night he was elected we consoled ourselves with the thought that his proven inability to lead would be our best hope for getting through to 2012.
Well said Dee Mac. When I was in college, I worked on the McGovern campaign. The next campaign I worked on was Reagan's reelection...so we grow up and wise up...hopefully they will do the same.
out of the mouth of babes. . Dear leader is making the same mistake as Bush -- don't piss off your base or your dead.
Sounds like a lot of the things Conservatives have been saying about Republicans. We have to face the fact that we are a very divided country and that no agenda can get pushed for a time. The backlash from the center will give the conservatives about two to four years so they better make it good. If programs are not set up by 2014 forget it.
Obama does good campaign. And good vacation. And good hobnobbing with the rich and famous. And good putting activists into czar positions. But not good government.
