The unanimous complaint from the left side of the political spectrum is that President Barack Obama is in difficulty because the Republicans are not supporting him.
No one seems to notice that Democrats hold the presidency, have an unbreakable majority in the House of Representatives, and even maintain a working 60 percent majority in the Senate (with three reliable GOP votes) to override filibusters.
Democrats have passed trillion dollar stimulus programs, overhauled the entire health care system, boasted of the largest reform of the financial system since the 1930s Depression, and are on the verge of an historic environmental and energy control plan.
