I bet there are a lot of other people like me. We might not be satisfied with the way Obama is handling issues that are important to us, but we understand the Republicans are so hilariously ****ed up that they'll never be a valid alternative.
It is for that reason that I strongly believe Obama won't have any trouble getting re-elected in 2012.

I don't really care that I find myself to the left of him (I never thought he was that liberal honestly), but I agree that he's often too soft. Spends too much time trying to be bipartisan when it's obvious the other side has no interest in cooperating, a perennial people pleaser. It's irritating.
That said I'll still support him because, well, look at the alternative.
