> > > > Though the American left and right don't agree on much, they are both now coalescing around the suspicion that Obama's brilliant presidential campaign was as hollow as Tiger's public image -- a marketing scam designed to camouflage either his covert anti-American radicalism (as the right sees it) or spineless timidity (as the left sees it). The truth may well be neither,... < < < <

My turn:
The extreme types on both "right" and "left" are criticizing President Obama: that means he's doing things right -- that's true, I believe, for every president in recent memory -- Clinton, Reagan, Bush-1, Bush-2 -- when you're getting it from both sides, you're right on.
The extremes are not there to lead.
The extremes there to speculate, offer alternatives, in a free society, and make us think (or to create public personas for themselves to sell books etc. which is free enterprise, fine, but not useful information or commentary).
