Suma, we liberals are pretty much all going to both vote for Obama and work hard to get him reelected. But to be accused of heresy or undermining him because we question some his policies is not right.

I do hold him personally responsible for the dems loss in 2010.

It is important for the Dems to make sure he does not stray too far to the right. He moved left (in 2011 after the debt ceiling debacle) only when the congressional Black Caucus and liberals raised hell publicly. I watched it happen and am not making that up. For those two groups to "publicly" chastise Obama shows how far he strayed from his campaign rhetoric.

PS and what we say among oursleves has no effect on the election. Quite the opposite, if we are saying he is has moved too far right, how does that hurt him among right wingers and moderates-lol?
