Obama is frustrating the left on a number of issues currently as well-- Gaza, anyone? I think it makes sense to play it safe with public opinion before he's president, but I'm also pretty sure that once the cards are on the table, he's a moderate. One could also ask, why is he looking for a criticism-shield from the get-go from the right when he's got 59/100 in the senate? to Mirriam: I think the frustration with Obama from the left is more rooted in making a break with Bush. I think that leftists who voted Democrat feel a little cheated that he's not catering to them. Cabinet picks, for example. I also think that Bush wasn't criticized because he chose a 'non-political' person to swear him in-- the Chief Justice... who has sworn in every president since 1988. to Trevor:

It does not matter who Obama picks, he always be critizied. If it was a caucasian President, things would be different we need to move away from that. Instead of looking forward to positive change, people just look for things to be discontent with. First of all it’s “Saddleback Church,” try nice doing some research and editing.
