Angry Left Freaking Out Over Obama: 'Boy, Their Political Instincts are Really Stupid'

Two weeks since the GOP's Congressional blowout and the angry left is still licking their wounds. From the sound of things they're ready to abandon world traveler Obama because he--get this--compromises too much with Republicans. Yes, the guy who for two years ignored the GOP is compromising too much with them.

Liberals furious with a White House they view as constantly telegraphing compromise with Republicans are pressuring President Obama to get tougher, arguing that is the only way he will win both progressives and independents in 2012.

Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and an outspoken critic of the White House, said liberal anger has less to do with fears of a Clintonian move to the middle by Obama and more with a misreading of the election results by the administration.

“It’s less ‘Oh no, they’re triangulating,’ and more ‘Boy, their political instincts are really stupid,’ ” said Green, who along with other liberals has blasted the White House for suggesting it would compromise with Republicans on expiring tax cuts.

The White House “fundamentally” doesn’t get that “the only way to get Republicans to deal in good faith is to fight them, crush them and teach a lesson that if Republicans are on the wrong side of an issue there will be consequences ... so it makes sense to negotiate,” Green said.

Yeah, there'll be consequences alright, like the loss of even more seats and the Senate in 2012. How's that whole "crush them" thing working out, fellas?

“Right now, every time Republicans are on the opposite side of an issue from the public, it’s the Democrats who cave and talk about ‘compromise.’ It’s ridiculous.”

While those babies were busy with their temper tantrum, defeated Democrats were busy crying on the House floor.

Freshman Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), who lost her reelection bid, wiped away tears as she hugged fellow members of the class of 2008, many of whom lost on Nov. 2.

Less than three feet away, ousted Nevada freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D) appeared to brush away some tears in a less obvious manner.

Their tears taste delicious.
