Who should lead the Democrats?

[Eric the Green]

Obama blew it a number times, not sufficiently exercizing his considerable talents in the political wars both on the Hill and beyond; however, most of the blame for his failures rests upon the extremist, ideological fanaticism of the Republicans, and the American people who voted for these sick, greedy wackos or didn't vote at all.

Obama and Democrats like him wouldn't have had the temptation to cave into them if they had not been there. And they would not have been there in any sane period of American history.
