The fringe left has been very vocal over Obama's flipping on many campaign promises for accountability and transparency regarding correcting Bush era wrongs. Perhaps more vocal than the fringe Right.

You're not calling MSNBC, Newsweek or the NYT fringe, are you? While I agree that there are more and more media outlets that would be considered left of center questioning him, by using the word "fringe" you're diminishing their relevance. No one really pays any attention to the "fringe".

Obama is still getting a free pass from a lot of people. Did you happen to see the Brian Williams 2 part puff piece on NBC? It's one thing to offer a glimpse of the President's home life, but this was ridiculous.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
