OH GOOD, OH GOOD, THEY'RE FIGHTING IN THE PLAYPEN - AT 5:44 P.M. ET:  The liberal troops - that contradiction in terms - are getting restless.  Why, it's disgraceful, this number of months into the reign of Barack the Wise - doctors can still treat patients without government approval, "Don't ask, don't tell" still exists, Fox News is still on the air, Huge Chavez hasn't received a state dinner.  What kind of president is this?  Probably one of them leftists in name only, a Rupert Murdoch plant.  Fox News (I told you) reports:

In recent weeks, President Obama has faced increasingly sharp criticism of his style and performance from an unlikely quarter: liberals.

Liberal commentators from Saturday Night Live comedians to newspaper columnists to leftist bloggers to gay rights activists have been portraying Obama as a do-nothing president and "whiner-in-chief," expressing a growing concern that the commander in chief is not showing enough spine.

He's not lefty enough?

Critics on the left are growing impatient with Obama and pressuring him to reject a request from his chief military commander for more troops in Afghanistan, to include a government-run insurance option in his health insurance reform plan and to lift the don't-ask-don't-tell policy concerning gays in the military.

Wait, we haven't gotten to the part where they put Rush in jail.

On Sunday thousands of gay rights activists marched from the White House to the Capitol, demanding that Obama keep his promise to work to end discrimination against gays and lesbians.

"This president has done something pretty extraordinary," said Michael Gerson, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former senior adviser to the Bush administration.

"He's managed to convince a lot of Americans that he's more liberal than he thought he was, at the same time he's disappointed his liberal base," he told FOX News. "That's an accomplishment of sorts."

Well, we knew he was an accomplishment sort of guy. 

But the left complaineth too much.  Just wait for Obama to cave completely to North Korea, Iran, and old favorite, Russia.  Ah, that'll be the day.  All those flowered jeans, celebrating.
