Letdown On The Left.

The article focuses on the frustration voiced by U.S. Democrats and liberals over the policies of President Barack Obama. Economic Policy Institute founder Jeff Faux said that the surge of U.S. troops in Afghanistan proved that Obama will not advance their priorities at the time when they already controlled the Congress after their support on his campaign. Left activists oppose his bank bailouts and health care that taxes cost-free insurance. Civil libertarians noted that Obama imitates the detainee treatment of his predecessor George W. Bush.
