[WS:] Yup. This is the 800-pound gorilla in the room that most on this list do not want to mention. I think O is quite responsive to his perceived constituencies, it is just the the left is not among them. And it is not there not because O chooses to ignore it, but because its impact on electoral outcomes is negligible. Believing otherwise borders on delusions of grandeur.

Except for the little point that it was that left constituency that elected him. He ran on a progressive platform.
