Drudge has it that some of the Left are turning on Obama. This doesn't mean they'll vote for Romney and the election is still a ways off, but this is interesting nonetheless.
Way back when I was a Democrat (pre 9/11), you couldn't get much farther Left than Alexander Cockburn, and now he's quoted in this piece at Forbes.com: "Obama Gets Left Behind" - as follows:
There’s a cancer in the presidency called Barack Obama. We have a psychopathic megalomaniac occupying the White house who could be compared to Nero, Caligula, Stalin, or Pol Pot in his disdain for human life. He and his coven of other like minded DC psychopaths and sociopaths are on a murdering spree and like a third world dictator Obama can have someone and their family (including you) executed or blasted to smithereens with a thumbs up or down. This is sickening to me. They are so blase about murdering that they refer to the hit list photos as “baseball cards”. Killing is a game or a sport to them.
There is a “cancer on the Presidency” and that cancer has metastasized throughout Washington DC. It was there before Obama arrived but he brought a whole new and virulent strain with him. Every time there is a shameful incident or embarrassing event perpetrated by “a few bad apples” we hear from the DC psychopaths that “That is not who we are”. They are incorrect. It is who they are in DC. It is not who we the real everyday thinking feeling Americans are. I certainly am not one of the people to be included in their cumulative we.” — Alexander Cockburn, writing for his online publication Counterpunch.
I'll be damned, he sounds like a raving right-wing extremist, doesn't he? One of those bitter clingers.
WARNING: Do NOT let this go to your head. We cannot - I repeat, cannot - get complacent. (But it is fun to read.)
