Actually it is a tossup. Liberal blogs have been about as helpful as Democrats in Congress. That would be "not very" and "kicking and screaming". Conservative blogs lie more about the President's actual achievements. But the net effect of liberal complaint and lassitude has about balanced the scales. Meanwhile President Obama appears to win every battle despite the overreach of the right and the disdain of the left.

Lefty Blogs Have Been As Hard on Obama As Right Wing Blogs
Liberal Bloggers to Axelrod — Stop the Hippie Punching | Liberal Whoppers: "The Obama administration has believed so strongly that they have the liberal media (new and traditional) at their beck and call, that they have been becoming more and more brazen about bashing them from the briefing room, while asking for their help off camera. It appears that some in the liberal media have had enough."

Not so fast - behind neocons lie the corporations and big oil
9/11’s 10th Anniversary: The Death of Neoconservatism - The Daily Beast: "Fukuyama explained that he was a “Marxist”: he believed that democracy would spread organically because it fit people’s deepest yearnings. The neocons, by contrast, were “Leninists:” they believed that the American military needed to give history a push. Today the matter is settled. The neocons were wrong and Fukuyama was right."
Francis is no doubt right simply because democracy is an ontological value which functions under the umbrella of the root or core value of non-idolatry. So democracy was always destined to triumph to the extent people chose it as billions will do in this century. But the Veblenian critique has been curiously absent from all the end of history brouhaha and we owe it to Neitzsche's evocation of the blinking herd to remind everyone that where there is a blinking herd there are corporations and their incessant advertisements for themselves. The seminal conflict in today's world is still with neocons insofar as they are identical with corporate interests.
