What about Obama are you most feel let down about?

[srican69]

On Balance President Obama has been a really good president so far .. His list of accomplishments are long and impressive ... Even on Issues he did not prevail - He fought long and hard ( Gun Control ) ... but he is not perfect ( no one can be ) .. so what about his presidency or his style peeves you the most..

[flamingdem]

5. I love crying over being let down by our Potus - NOT!

Cut the crap with these polls please, discouragement tactics not approved on DU

[Robb]

2. I miss the Iraq war.

[Maximumnegro]

3. I miss Dick Cheney

[fleur-de-lisa]

4. None of the above . . .

My biggest disappointment with his adminstration (Holder) is the lack of indictments for Wall Street banksters.

9. +100

6. I am upset on his neoliberal attacks on public education through ex-CEO of the Chicago

schools Arne Duncan.
Communities of color are bearing the brunt of the onslaught in Chicago and the kids aren't benefitting, the wealthy for-profit
ripoff artists in the private sector school business are.

8. I don't focus on President Obama but on policies.

[closeupready]

10. The continued use of drone strikes, which undercuts his

implied claim that he is a civil rights champion, insofar as his handlers refer to him as a constitutional law scholar.

I will admit that I am, on balance, happy with much of what he's done, and I don't think any of the other candidates who were running for the Dem nomination (in either 2008 or 2012) would have been better.

So, I guess I'd give him an 8 out of 10 - maybe 9.

11. Not one fucking thing about Obama but a lot about people who...

try to cut him off at the knees.

Of course he hasn't been perfect and there are a lot of things I wish were different, but nobody's perfect and I can't get my way on everything anyway.

What I really want to know is just why these sorts of polls and questions keep popping up-- I suspect they have nothing to do with loyal opposition, feet to the fire, or any such thing.

12. seriously .. why do you feel so defensive if we want to be objective about our own leaders ..

Last time I checked we don't live in North Korea ....

[FSogol]

15. +1. Well said. n/t

[allin99]

13. Nothing as far as let down...

but i don't really like the way he refers to people sometimes: "the left". That type of thing, other than that, i think my expectations were pretty spot on, i didn't think there was gonna be a massive liberal approach , anti-corporate agenda, sweeping change in how washington works, etc. and i think those expectations are other people's failure, not his.

14. Blaming Obama for the absence of single payer makes no sense

That's on the whole of the Democratic Party.

[rrneck]

16. I might be dissapointed, but I don't really feel justified in feeling that way.

It's going to take at least two or three presidents to even begin to straighten this mess out. I'm not as concerned with straightening out all the problems with the country as whether or not we will have time to get it done before environmental and resource problems bite us on the ass.

[Bake]

17. All of the above.
