Refuting notion that "the left is harder on Obama than it was to Clinton"
I believe there are flaws in the above-mention hypothesis, which I cite below:

1-) The question of who had a higher approval among liberals, Obama vs. Clinton, has not been examined.

2-) DU, Huffington Post, Daily Kos were not yet alive, and no true liberal had a Cable program; therefore, there is no way to make a comparison in this regard.

3. I'm one who changed his Clinton - I pretty much
See that admin as being a problem now.

After two terms of Reagan and one of bush sr. - I then
Thought anything was better.

I didn't understand neoliberalism within the
Democratic party context - I didn't fully appreciate the disaster
That was nafta. The make over the EPA needed bottom to top,
The repeal of glass/steagal, and so on.

Just because one has a D behind their name
Doesn't mean they govern with the best interests of the people.

And indeed we didn't have the Same net working, or media as you mentioned
That we have now.
