You think I overstate the discontent?

You lean to the left, so you like him. You say he was voted in "to do Liberal things" and list off his accomplishments that please the left.

No surprise that his supporters are relatively happy with him. But the "massive discontent" isn't from that group. And believe it or not, there's a whole nuther half of the country that thinks very differently.

I stand by my claim that millions of Americans are very unhappy with the state of things, and this Administration. They're just not the folks you hang with. And some of them favor Trump, at least in these early stages.

Personally, I detest Obama. But then, I had no use for W either. And I wouldn't walk across the street to listen to Trump. (And I walk four or five miles a day.)

Hi D&O,

I think you overstate the discontent. On the left, he is increasingly seen as having done an immense job.

Saving the country from Bush's economic disaster. Done.

Stopping the inherited expansion of the deficit in real terms. Done.

Overseeing an increasing number of jobs. Done.

Recasting the healthcare system successfully. Done.

Avoiding new wars. Done.

Moving minority issues forwards. Done.

etc.

Obviously this may be challenged by his opponents, particularly in foreign policy terms (eg surrounding the mess in the Middle East), but he ain't a Republican. He was voted in to do Liberal things.

If the boorish portion of the discontent is crystallised in 20% of Republicans, it isn't all that alarming.
