“I am one of the millions of frustrated Americans who want to see Washington do more than it's doing right now. (Obama) needs to be more bold in his leadership. I'm not going to just sit by the curb and let these folks get away with a lack of performance for the American people....I'm one of the many Americans who are losing patience."

--Steve Hildebrand, the deputy campaign manager who was an architect of Obama's early victories over Hillary Clinton in the Iowa and South Carolina 2008 Democratic primaries, as quoted in Politico.
