The POTUS has a large staff to protect him and respond to comments made by the media, politicians and the public; the POTUS does not need those with no real insight as to what the POTUS is thinking or how the POTUS will respond on the issue. The POTUS does not need wannabe spin doctors defending him on the internets.
It is a fact that President Obama is not very Liberal nor Progressive he is closer to Reagan with his policies then FDR. Many times over the last 6 years his rhetoric does not match the actions. Beside we the people have the right to complain or support our elected leaders, unless one is interested in echo chambers. If the owners of DU want a echo chamber they should so state. Now I know lots of Democrats voted for Reagan, why I don't know but I suspect most of them were also big fans of Reagan and also voted for him twice too. I suspect many of the same 'democrats' that voted for Reagan also voted for and support Pres Obama.
I think what is being observed here is the difference between the liberals &progressives and corporate, moderate, conservative democrats.
I fully expect that the die hard supporters of President Obama are going to canonize him just like they did Reagan.
That's my 2 cents and observations.
