Chief of Staff Draws Fire From Left as Obama Falters

This is a perfect example of the inanity of liberals. They seem to think that their agenda, based on their interpretation of liberalism, is what the President should be following.

President Barack Obama's liberal backers have a long list of grievances. The Guantanamo Bay prison is still open. Health care hasn't been transformed. And Wall Street banks are still paying huge bonuses.

He's tried to move to close Guantanamo, and has gotten fierce opposition from the Right. And, what to do about those not-very-nice people inside? Health care reform failed because the Democrats messed up the chance to reform it.

But they are directing their anger less at Mr. Obama than at the man who works down the hall from him. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, they say, is the prime obstacle to the changes they thought Mr. Obama's election would bring.
