One who handed an entire industry a mandated monopoly of the entire US population. One who extended tax cuts for the rich. One codified the indefinite detention of American citizens into law. One who has ordered the summary execution of American citizens abroad. One whose idea of a stimulus bill was one made up of forty percent tax cuts and tax credits. One who has kept the military industrial complex well fed and cared for. One whose term saw the lowest tax rates since the 1950's.

These are but a few of the reasons why liberals and progressives are upset with Obama, for this is the candidate that they are being presented with. Yes, the alternative is worse, perhaps much worse. But it becomes awfully damn hard to really give a damn when the political choices presented to you are center right authoritarian and hard right authoritarian.
