The Sideshow —
What Digby said: If Obama wants to govern as liberally as the political circumstances allow, then we need to work to make sure that the political circumstances include a strong liberal base. Mindlessly cheerleading out of a misplaced sense of loyalty will not help him. As Roosevelt understood, politics are interlocking interests and constituencies that have to be brought to bear to achieve certain goals. In the current political world, I believe that Obama and the Democrats need a strong left wing that is out there agitating in order that we can continue to ...

And it’s certainly likely that Obama will end up doing many, many things that warrant and provoke intense criticism. I have no doubt about that. But he’s entitled to actually start doing things — on Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, civil liberties, the economy, and otherwise — before judgments are formed. ...

... [T]here is very little political or media structure to Obama's Left that can or will criticize him, even when he moves far to what the Beltway calls the "center" or even the Right (i.e., when he adopts large chunks of the GOP position). That situation is extremely bad -- both for the Left and for Obama. It makes impossible what very well might be the apocryphal though still illuminating FDR anecdote: ...
