Mr. Obama does not have to worry about what the far left thinks.
When 2012 rolls around they aren't going to push for a different Demcrat in the primaries (and if they do, who is going to listen?) and they sure as heck aren't going to support a Republican.
Therefore he doesn't have to worry about what they think.
Those on the "farther" left should remember that is was not they who got him elected. It was the mainstream Democrats, the Independents, and the open minded (read:fed up) Republicans.
He needs to make sure he has their continued support (especially the last two groups mentioned) if he wants to get re-elected.
