This was listed as one of the features on the BBC news website and is another interesting article on how the left feels about the Obama presidency. It isn't as good as the one Politco did a few months back (I posted here as well), but this deals more with the activist groups.

BBC News - Has the American left fizzled out?

New York's progressive liberal community sees things a little differently.

Despite conservative accusations that Mr Obama is socialist, to progressives, he seems hopelessly moderate. They don't think their agenda has been represented in Washington.

"Supposedly we have a progressive president. We don't. Supposedly we have been in the majority in Congress but we've seen almost no progressive action at all," said one left-leaning New Yorker, B C Ashmall-Liversidge, at Drinking Liberally, a weekly social gathering in the Hell's Kitchen district.
(note: This never matters, as right-wing will continue to call Obama a socialist, even though he is nowhere close to it).

Ms Balicki says it has taken until recently - more than a year-and-a-half into the Obama administration - for many progressives to feel really comfortable criticising the president.

For most of Mr Obama's first year or more in office, his supporters maintained their hope for change - a mindset Code Pink hoped to work with, not quash.

There is more as well, just a couple selected quotes from it.
