Puzzling... no, not so much
Time mag has named Obama as Man of the Year again. Seems odd, considering all the dramatic choices available this year.
I tried to look at Obama's 2012 performance from various leftist perspectives, and didn't find much to cheer.
Envirowacko? Nope, he's allowed huge development in oil and gas drilling.
Peacenik? Nope, he hasn't closed Guantanamo, hasn't stopped rendition, and has continued the "illegal" drone strikes and wiretaps.
Occupy? Nope, Obama is still paying the banksters to commit crimes. No penalties, no regulations. [I'm with the leftists on this issue, so I don't have to stretch my imagination here.]
Fags? Aha. There it is. Within this year, Obama has "evolved" on the question of Journalist Marriage. He's now firmly in favor of journalists getting a marriage license.
