Ungrateful Emocratic Pundits

I watched Seattle's own Dan Savage on MSNBC the other day, and he couldn't seem to acknowledge Obama's kept promise in the repeal of DADT. His "we MADE him do it" meme strikes me as profoundly ungrateful, as if Obama really didn't want to do it. Maddow credited President Obama, but grudgingly, and had to make the point that it was a Democratic law that was repealed, as if that made this historic accomplishment somehow less.
 I watched Michael Moore gush all over our President's "new tone", as if he'd been backing Obama all along. 
Really? That's all it took? They need yelling and screaming, not actual achievement?
Ralph Nader, appearing on Lawrence O'Donnell failed to acknowledge *any* accomplishments of President Obama, including the repeal of DADT.
He preferred to pontificate about why it's a "great idea to Primary Obama", so "Real Progressives" could "challenge Obama" on far-fetched ideologically pure Progressive stances that we could argue about all day, and that have a snowball's chance in Hell of ever being taken seriously by the majority of Americans. These people are fickle, disingenuous, and full of bitterness that they were , and still are wrong.
