It's no secret that progressives in general are disappointed with President Obama and that the Facebook Left tends to be outraged. This is not because Obama has accomplished nothing. He gambled his presidency on opening the door to universal health care. He integrated gays into the military. He ended our combat mission in our most pointless and stupid war (Iraq). The problem is that Obama is by temperament a thoughtful centrist who operates in slow motion. That's not what progressives voted for. He's not FDR, Truman, JFK or LBJ.
The Republicans apparently will nominate a daffy liar or an empty suit who caters to the Tea Party. That makes Obama our candidate for President in 2012.
