z-Thumbsup Martin Sheen Has Harsh Words For Progressives Critical Of Obama
Quote:Sheen finds himself frustrated with fellow progressives over their disappointment that Barack Obama’s real presidency hasn’t matched the heights of his imaginary one.

“It’s unrealistic,” Sheen told The Huffington Post Canada in a backroom at Montreal’s Theatre St-Denis after speaking at Free the Children’s latest We Day youth rally. “I wonder how many of those progressives are black? How many of those progressives understand historically what happened?

“There’s one face in that crowd that night in Lincoln Park that was the expression of absolute miraculous reality when Barack Obama took the stage with his family as president-elect. Did you see that night when they showed Jesse Jackson?” he asked, mentioning the civil rights icon who spoke earlier at the same event. “I wonder how disappointed Jesse is with Barack Obama?”

Sheen dismissed the complaint from the left that Obama has failed to match the intense umbrage of his Republican opponents. “People say he ought to start getting mad and start yelling at these people,” Sheen said. “He didn’t get here by showing an angry man; this is a very important job. The whole world is watching every move, listening to nuance that he breathes in public.”

The actor pointed his finger squarely at Republicans for Obama's problems, arguing that they have been an unprecedentedly obstructionist congress, especially since the 2010 mid-term elections.

“It’s been fighting tooth and nail to get anything on the table with these morons,” Sheen groused, adding that the GOP is being directed by the Tea Party, which he called “the professional against-ers who are really to be identified as radical extremists who have no agenda and no purpose.”

I have harsh words for them too. They put him down for 3 years and created mountains out of molehills.
They screamed louder than the pubs on many things....and it stuck with the conspiracy lovers.
Now some are sorry. Big whooop.

They screwed up badly, but I am still willing to welcome those that realize that they screwed up, back. After all we are going to be fighting the money machine created by the Republican's manipulation of the Supreme Court and our Constitution with the Citizen's United Ruling. So it's going to be the American people verses the right wing money machine... ALL HANDS ON DECK

I'll welcome them back too, but I'll be wary. They said stuff that never should have been said about the Democratic POTUS.

Good for Martin Sheen, and George Clooney too, who has been saying the same thing! These far-left idiots want this far-left utopia and it just isn't going to happen - EVER! That's called reality. And while they keep their heads in the sand they are missing all the good and progressive things this president has done despite the fierce push back he has had to face from the right.
