All of this "no body loves us" stuff gets a bit stale after awhile.

If you, or other democrats, don't like this President, then you better get busy locating the person/people you really want, at both the National, state, and local level.

I find that here on DU I see 10 or 100 "Obama isn't liberal enough OPs" as compared to OPs dedicated to finding sufficiently progressive or liberal candidates.

So if you have any of these sufficiently progressive candidates in mind, you might want to start promoting them.
