John Nichols is a staunch "progressive" author who writes a political blog for The Nation, which itself is a far left publication. When guys like Nichols begin castigating the Obama administration, you know that the rift between the hard-core leftists and Obama’s "pragmatic" administration is widening.This weekend, Obama’s political operatives attacked both Fox News on the right and "pajama clad" bloggers on the left, prompting John Nichols to label Barack Obama the "whiner-in-chief."
. . . there’s a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing — no attack by Glenn Beck, no blogger busting about Guantanamo — does more damage to Obama’s credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief.
Many movement progressives like John Nichols were already growing impatient with what

I have never heard the President of the United States whine. I've heard his rivals whine every minute of every day. I've heard pundits whine especially on FOX news where I found the information that someone is calling President Obama Whiner n Chief. I couldn't even read it but i googled the source and came up with someone I know nothing about named John Nichols, as the source.
A drive by attack by a nobody. Used as filler for a FOX point of view. (By the way if this guy is a somebody, somebody let me know. I don't get caught all up in personalities unless they've proved their weight or worth or something, and that can be negative or positive, for instance two months ago I didn't know Rep. Alan Grayson, and now I do, just that quick.)
The president just won the Nobel Peace Prize from abroad, but back home someone says he's a whiner n chief.
I am speechless at this lie, because I've watched the president much, and I've just never heard him whine. I've seen him reach out to FOX on more than one occasion and I've seen FOX accept, rebuff, and altogether just stop giving the president air time, because well, they just don't agree with who he is?
Not only that, but who at the whitehouse actually 'checked' FOX news about the truth of their misinformation campaign? It wasn't the president, and it wouldn't be whining. It would be rebuking. FOX news is powerful, has reach and is acting like an ENEMY of the STATE. Is it wrong to warn about them?
This may sound stupid for a diary, but these attacks on character are unconscionable.
