Liberal Democrats in and out of Congress are expressing mounting frustration with President Obama and what they say are decisions by the president discarding major elements of their agenda.
The political left provided Mr. Obama's base of support during last year's election but has been disappointed repeatedly during his first year in office. The Democratic president has agreed to a series of compromises on health care reform, ordered an escalation of the war in Afghanistan and failed to lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military.
When Mr. Obama this week gave tacit approval as Senate Democrats dropped the "public insurance" option from their health care bill and top House Democrats fell in line, liberal lawmakers accused the president of losing control of the debate.
"It's time for the president to get his hands dirty," said Rep. Anthony Weiner, New York Democrat and a leading liberal vote in Congress on health care issues. He argued that Democrats have been forced to accept compromises in recent weeks that have undermined their goals in overhauling the nation's health care system.
"We need the president to stand up for the values our party shares. We must stop letting the tail wag the dog of this debate," he said.

Mr. Obama doesn’t work for the Left. He takes his orders from The New World Order, just as George Bush did, the same NWO his father extolled. Back up, here, and take an overall picture of what’s going on. Leftism is only the military arm of the NWO.
Can we get Rush to play this?
There.
Fixed it.
