It's safe to say that Jesse Jackson isn't Senator Barack Obama's biggest fan right at the moment. And I think it's equally safe to assume that Tom Blumer isn't enjoying Obama's preemptive strike on the economy:

Remember the grief Dick Cheney received in late 2000, and then President Bush in early 2001, when they were accused of “talking down the economy”?

In summer of 2008, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, presidential candidate Barack Obama, and Senate majority leader Harry Reid aren’t merely talking the economy down; they’re taking it down.

They have created what I am calling the POR (Pelosi-Obama-Reid) economy. Businesses and investors are responding to their total lack of seriousness by battening down the hatches and preparing for the worst.

Meanwhile, the more rarefied quadrants of the leftwing also seem to lack a universal appreciation for Obama's triangulation efforts, as he seeks to move from the far left to somewhere closer to nearby to within shouting distance of the center left:

Hope.

Change.

It was all you talked about.

Then the FISA bill you gave the telecom companies retroactive immunity - something you said you were against - and voted FOR it on the senate floor.

Third party candidates, here I come. You’re no different than McCain.

Man, can Obama's inclusiveness bring everyone together, or what?
