Will, the left is ALWAYS pissed about something. That the left is pissed is like saying the sun rises in the East. Lefties are the brotherhood of perpetual outrage. As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, if it's not one thing it's another.
I remember reading some right-wing rant a few years ago in which some neanderthal said that he wanted the Dems to win both houses of Congress and the Presidency, just so they'd have the experience of having to keep the country safe. He thought that would make them finally shut up.
I remember laughing when I read that but it turns out that lunatic was right. Much of what Bush did, however inartfully explained and implemented, turns out to have been the best solution of a bad set of options. It might just be that Guantanamo is still open because it's the most sensible place for the people who are kept there. Same for using military tribunals. Other stuff, too. And Obama (as I have continually maintained) is no dummy - he learns as he goes and even though he lets his worst (or most childish) instincts get the better of him sometimes, he does sometimes come back to the best solution. So bully for him. Too bad he became Pres 10 or 15 years before he was ready.
