I Don't Remember So Many Democrats Being Angry at a Democratic President Since LBJ.

[David Zephyr]

From my friends -many life-long Democratic Party activists-- to acquaintances and family, from voices I respect here at the DU to those at the Daily Kos, Huffington Post, The Nation and MoveOn.Org, I can tell you that I've heard a lot and am still hearing a lot: President Obama has really lost a lot of support. And that's support he will be needing for three more years.

The disillusionment runs from anger to disgust, but it is real.

And it is not just about the corporate health-care bill he is pushing to sign, it's his failure to focus on job creation, it's his lack of working to stem the continuing foreclosures across the country, it's his escalation into Pakistan and now Yemen, it's his choice of advisers from the Goldman-Sachs dynamic duo to those in his Cabinet.

With an entrenched Republican Party set against him, and with so many in the Left feeling abused and manipulated, Obama is going to have a rough three years ahead now.

He has delighted his enemies in the GOP by pissing off his friends in the Democratic activist base.

Barack Obama may just be the first President in a very long time to be a Lame Duck entering his second year in office. I would have never believed this.

Shoot this messenger if it makes you feel better, but it won't change things.

Obama is now in a lot of political trouble.

What a fall.

What a waste of opportunity.

What a shame.
