Great video. But this arrogance of "holding the course" when your policies are so unilaterally rejected is a defect of the personality of a liberal - it's not just Obama, though he embodies the quintessential liberal. Just look at some of the posters here. They are determined to be right, to never admit they could possibly have misread or were mistaken in their beliefs, that their philosophies might be a bit too aggressive, or flawed, etc. Instead, it is everyone else that is stupid, or primitive, or deplorable, etc.
It is possible to hold to a particular position you cherish that everyone thinks you are insane to believe in. But when your entire personal philosophies run so counter to mainstream, it's time to come to the realization that you, yourself, might be the outlier. Not with liberals, though. They'll never give an inch. Never compromise, even if shown the err of their ways. Just look at Freddie, or Futurecurrents for examples of the rabid left.
