Ollie Stone is tremulous with rage over Champ's failures
And he's shaking his tiny fists in rage.

Oh, that's not the headline at the story but rather my interpretation.
President Obama isn't just getting ripped by conservatives -- he's also taking heat from the left.

Filmmaker Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick criticize Obama's presidency in a forthcoming book called The Untold History of the United States, saying he has too often mimicked Republican predecessor George W. Bush.
We wish...
"The country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles, but Obama took a bad situation and, in certain ways, made it worse," write Stone and Kuznick, reports Politico. "Rather than repudiating the policies of Bush and his predecessors, Obama has perpetuated them."

On Wall Street reform: "The biggest winner under Obama was Wall Street."
And Dave Jon Corzine. Obama and Corzine, Corzine and Obama. I'm just doing that for Google search...
On health care: "Obama's failure to articulate a progressive vision was also apparent in the fight over health reform, which was to have been his signature initiative...Obama's health care reform effort, marked by the inability to even refute Republican charges of death panels, was so unpopular that it became an albatross around the necks of Democrats in the 2010 election."
You do have to wonder why the Dhimmicrats defend BambiCare, since it's a complete total Charlie-Fox program that looks nothing like what a good progressive would advocate.
On a troop surge in Afghanistan: "When it finally came down to decision time, Obama didn't have the courage or integrity of a post-Cuban Missile Crisis John F. Kennedy. He settled on a 30,000-troop increase, giving the military leaders almost everything they wanted and more than they expected."
You see, we haven't lost yet: there are no pics of helicopters landing on the embassy roof in Kabul. Until there are Ollie will be disappointed.
On civil liberties: "Among the greatest disappointments to his followers was Obama's refusal to roll back the expanding national security state that so egregiously encroached on American civil liberties."
My goodness, the stopped clock got one right...

#2 ...inability to even refute Republican charges of death panels...

Because those allegations are true tough, even for Zero, to refute the truth.
