Doesn't that happen with any election? I'm constantly annoyed that people on the right come out in droves to vote, yet some Democrats will complain and still don't show up at the polls.
"The exchange crystallizes the strained relationship between the White House, which has attempted to implement a liberal agenda without ignoring conservative ideas, and the liberal base, which is resentful of the White House for letting conservatives and moderates hold up important liberal goals."
umm liberal agenda?? Didn't President Obama run as a moderate? I wish some liberals would pay more attention to the power that Congress has with certain policies instead of blaming the POTUS for pretty much everything they wanted that hasn't happened YET. I can understand why Gibbs said what he said this past summer about the left.

I am so stressed right now because of a paper, so just thinking of Gibbs's comment from a couple of months ago apparently sends me into a rant.

I think it's fine to hold his feet o the fire, but when people (of all political pov's) expect 8 years of turmoil to be solved in 2 years and not also hold Congress accountable, that is where I have a problem. And I don't see where POTUS has taken "jabs" at liberals. I think he hasasked them to be patient, but he has never reacted the way Gibbs has, unless I am missing something. (I refuse to watch the crap they call news on CNN/Fox/CBS, etc.)
And GL on your paper! This semester of uni has been has been a big challenge so far.

I mean, it's essentially correct, but for some reason it cracks me up.
