Tempest in a Teacup

It is a tale 
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Prima donna, drama queens whine about so-called "hippie punching."

The only instance I can recall is when a frustrated Gibbs lashed out at Rachel Maddow and the "professional left." I mean the White House did enact the largest government stimulus in history, passed the largest reform in  health care in 40 years, passed the largest financial system reform since the Great Depression, nominated Dawn Johnson, brought in Elizabeth Warren, nominated okay people to the Supreme Court, Federal Reserve and National Labor Relations Board. Ended the war in Iraq. Etc. All in the face of the most obstructionist minority party in history.

Many of the "organized, online" left were against Obama during the Democratic primary. No doubt many hope the Democrats will lose the House so they can blame it on Obama's "lack of nerve."

Again you have to wonder about the actual percentage of people who subscribe to the Prima Donna Left viewpoint. But maybe they will be able to depress turnout. We'll find out, but I bet the the Democrats keep the House. Which will be funny.

Even if Obama had got the public option, and did nationalize the banks and had done a larger stimulus, these people still wouldn't be satisfied. They just like to hear themselves talk.
