On growing uber left frustration with Obama - see former prof of Obama's Youtube video calling for his defeat in November because Dear Leader has failed progressives most egregiously. What I do not hear from these newly disaffected is recognition of two very likely reasons for this falling out, this coming asunder - one, that maybe Obama was simply using the native naive idiocy of these people to further his own ambitions - in other words, he hasn't failed the cause because the cause was himself - or two, that when the impractical, detached from reality idealism of leftist enthusiasms run into cold, hard facts of actuality, they tend not to fare too well - what sounds like sweet music in the faculty lounge of Harvard is reduced to discordant gibberish by the harsh realities of the marketplace - in other words, Obama failed because his beliefs were misbegotten, briefly carried aloft on thin clouds of onanistic delusion perfectly captured in the incantation 'we're the ones we've been waiting for' - and so the angry disenchantment of the uber left is the sound of a scrounging in the dust for excuses and denial's sanctuary.
