Liberals and Obama

The New York Times: Reports on how Afghanistan has become a major problem for President Obama, the NYT writes the following, " ( Obama ) already faces growing discontent among his liberal base, not only over the war but also over national security policy, health care,.... and other issues. " In other words the Liberal New York Times is not happy, they see Iraq and Afghanistan as Bush Wars, they would rather spend billions on gay rights that defend the United States. At the end of the President Obama might have to tell the extreme Liberal New York Times to take a hike, in fact if the Liberal NYT writes critical stories about him his polls might go up. Afghanistan in some respects is more important than Vietnam, if Obama caves to the left over Afghanistan, his political career will follow the fate of LBJ. Thus as stated this is Obama's LBJ moment but also its a moment of character for President Obama, can he see that the security of the USA and the West is more important than his own arrogance and the support of the left in American politics.
