New York (CNN) -- Can liberals ever be happy? I keep asking myself this question as I hear an increasing number complaining about President Obama. There seems to be a Greek chorus of liberal whining: "I'm disappointed by him." "I expected more." "I thought he would be different." Earlier this week, singer Jackson Browne, a vocal 2008 Obama supporter, lamented that President Obama is "...just as beholden to the people who put him in office as any of the Republicans would be." Matt Damon, who had very publicly supported Obama in 2008, has now very publicly attacked President Obama. Damon even went so far as to heap praise on former President Bush, saying: "I would kiss George W. Bush on the mouth" in appreciation for his work fighting AIDS in Africa. Although Damon did note his kiss of Bush would be limited to: "Three seconds, no tongue."

He says critics seem to want a president with dictatorial power to impose his will
Keep in mind most of @placeholder was in office before President Obama was elected and most will be there when he leaves.
