What is Bad About Obama [View all]

He is too comfortable being the Emperor of American Empire.

He has not put enough banksters in jail. Actually none? While millions of low-level alleged criminals are in jail.

He has not done anything about global climate change.

America is still headed over the cliff.

It is no wonder intelligent progressives are hammering Obama every chance they get. Indeed, if we all joined in and quit brown-nosing the president, Obama would be forced to be more progressive.
