There is nothing funnier than reader comments in the Huffington Post when things go poorly for progressives. Absolutely nothing. The wailing, the moaning, the gnashing of teeth is just classic.
President Obama’s tax compromise with the Republicans proves to be comedy gold once again.

Obama should go find his cojones and take a firm stand one way or the other and stick with it. For all his faults Bush had big brass ones and didn’t flinch(although he was wrong most of the time) Obama needs some of that confidence and conviction.

Obama has made Carter look like FDR.

Sadly enough, the man has negatively defined himself utterly and thoroughly. The Democratic party had better allow an open primary in 2011 or it’s President Romney…

I have come to the conclusion that he is a republican plant. I honestly believe the other side helped place him as a continuation of Bush Chaney

Hillary would have been better, but no, we had to go with “the dream” and now it is a nightmare.
6. toldyeso
he has to do the right thing and announce – for the good of the party and the nation – that he wont run again

Clearly, we were all victims of one of history’s all time frauds. I personally was very much aware of many of his shortcomings, but I truly believed he was up for the challenge. What a stunner to realize just how worthless a Harvard education truly is when combined with lack of conviction, and an overabundance of arrogance.

Captain Passive tripped on his own cape. We must get him to step down without a second term, to void the slot for someone with a spine. He’s a disaster.

How has Obama done anything to suggest that he was a better choice than Hillary? I’d love to know. Obama is a wimp, not a fighter; he’s a orator, not a leader.
10. Massachusetts Patriot
Obama’s not just a lame duck, figuratively speaking, he’s a “dead” duck, case closed. The man’s lack of loyalty to his campaign promises and the base that helped elect him means that he will garner very tepid support from the left in 2012.

President Zero has hurt the progressive cause more than I would have thought possible.

He is a comunity organizer/ junior senator, and is in way ,way ,way over his head.
