No way to hold his feet to the fire, then, is there?

Yet another example of sniveling-git-ism from "the Left". Liberal critics urge the liberalist-president-of-our-lifetime to be more, you know, liberal, and both he and his "supporters" get angry and defensive and start wagging their fingers and sermonizing. I guess there really is no way of holding President Obama's feet to the fire, as he urged the people of the Left to do, is there?

The President did "the one thing that he actually has the power to do" by instructing the DOJ not to enforce DOMA? Uh, not quite - he could also, you know, be a forceful advocate for what is right, even if there is nothing he could do in terms of legislation or the law.

This applies for many other things as well (but don't try to prevent him from blowing shit up in other countries!) - but Obama simply refuses to even make the case for what is right. And so America will keep getting what it probably deserves - hand-in-hand destruction of the bases of modern American society by the Republicans and the Democrats, while people like BooMan turn their fire against people who don't really like this outcome rater than the people who are doing their utmost to bring it about.
