Advisers clueless..
The President should give pink slips to all his advisers and appointees recycled from the Clinton and Bush administrations. Their only advice seems to be appeasing the right and ignoring the desires of the bad Progressives.

Advisers are so clueless about solving the mystery of Brown's victory because they ARE the problem. The President's speeches are about changes but advisers' policies do not reflect any resemblance to what he says.

One thing sure - no blame should go to the Progressives who haven't had their way.

Blame is being put on everyone but the White House advisers, who, if they had any sense, would tender their resignations.

There's no accountability in this White House..

3. You are right...
but there have to be others who nod in agreement with him...and I wish he would resign. Something has to change in White House - no one is happy with the results of the advice . . .

4. Yeah, but only the left is saying that, and everybody knows the left
is a bunch of disgruntled kooks, so they can be ignored.

The people to listen to are those who blame the left for policies they had nothing to do with.

2. "One thing sure - no blame should go to the Progressives who haven't had their way."

I disagree all those Progressives that have been bashing the Dems non-stop do share part of the blame (with the lion's share going to Coakley for a terrible campaign). Bottom line is the is a reason the right engages in non-stop bashing of the Dems and it isn't to make them a better party.

5. Your 2nd sentence doesn't make a lot of sense to me..
but, you must remember, when Candidate Obama was running, he presented himself as the answer to the prayers of all progressives, especially me.

He should have made himself plainer and then he wouldn't be burdened now by our support.

And I love the man so much, but am so disappointed.

8. Name one piece of good advice they've given him..
All categories - insurance, money, stocks, banks, health care, the war, etc.., must be something constructive they've done to earn their keep..

Maybe the advice wasn't all bad, just that we don't understand. That "Ledbetter lady who got equal pay for equal work" bill is the only progressive thing the White House came thru on. Think that's why Brown won - everybody's mad because of Lily Ledbetter???

He likes people of like mind advising him.
