What exactly is the point of this article by sniveling git Ezra Klein? He doesn't "want to play down" how "The Left" feels about Obama's betrayals, nor how Obama feels about "The Left" not being appropriately respectful of whatever it is that he has done. But what does he want to do? Indicate that people are always disappointed in other people?
He cites a journalist's report about the confrontation between Clinton and Greider in the 1990s. But what this account actually shows is that people like it when other people who have power bully and intimidate yet other people who do not have power but try with their limited means to speak up and do something. Greider - a journalist - used his position to attempt to hold Clinton - a sack of shit who somehow made it to the highest office in the world - to account. Clinton, bizarrely, accuses Greider of not trying to "persuade" people.
From this exchange, Klein can only applaud Clinton for not farting in Greider's face. And noting that, gosh darn it, people are disappointed in other people.
It's pure power worship. And I can answer the question I posed earlier about the sniveling little git Ezra Klein: he got his job at the Washington Post, I would say, entirely because he was one of the pro-war "liberal" voices in 2002-03 - and because he is always wrong about everything of import. This is how "liberals" continue to look like fucking gits - because fucking gits will always be the people to represent and speak for them.
