What discontent?

The right and the "mainstream" media keep talking of some rift that's emerging between Obama and his left base over cabinet picks and policy statements - but where it it? I'm pretty left, and while I don't agree with Obama's support for bailouts, I'm thrilled at a 21st century new deal and national health care. I don't see alot of discontent on the liberal/leftists blogs i read either. So where is it?

I think everyone knows he isn't going to be a leftist president. But his picks and proposals so far make him a vast improvement over any president I'm old enough to remember.
