Are you talking like a conservative lately?

68. I'm sorry? "Haven't found anything sustainable" to criticize the President about?

Where do we start?

In a prime example of poor negotiating strategy (even if you didn't want it in the end, which I won't argue about): You do NOT cut off your left flank and make clear that not only single payer, but also the public option is off the table. Again, doesn't matter if he wanted it in the end, but by cutting off his left flank, he had no cards to play, thus the bill was a multibillion dollar giveaway to the health insurance companies.

No one prosecuted for the Financial Meltdown.

Promising to renegotiate NAFTA. Criticizing US trade policy for not protecting labor and the environment, saying the investor protections go too far. And then pursuing the TPP, the largest trade agreement ever for the US (except for the WTO), using the exact same model he criticized.

Not a single word in favor of the Employee Free Choice Act. No effort to improve labor rights. After he promised to do so.

Worst deal ever on taxes at end of 2010. ALL Bush tax cuts extended and all he got in exchange was a lousy temporary extension of unemployment? And allowed the Estate Tax law (which was going to zero% -- no taxes on estates of any kind or size) to remain in place. The cost comparison of the trade off is astounding.

Could have fixed the Fed Ex loophole that allows FedEx to hire employees and pretend they are independent contractors through IRS action. Didn't do it.

No real response to the BP disaster to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Proposing to cut Social Security.

Made the sequester deal when in fact we don't need any budget balancing at all. You balance the budget in good times (just like Clinton did). You do not balance the budget in bad times. That is Keynesian economics 101. What we need is a gigantic investment in the economy to put people back to work and get the economy growing again. But no, Obama keeps talking about the grand bargain and all the cuts he'll make before he has bothered to fix the economy. The sequester is only hurting job creation and working people. And while he does have a Congress that refuses to spend, he could refuse to sign the stupid austerity budgets and sequester bills. HE doesn't. He signs.

Instead of forcing Congress's hand to fix sequester, he signed the airport fix so that his rich friends could continue flying without delays.

And these are just the sellouts to his friends on Wall Street.

Need I also raise:

Guantanamo not closed. (And while yes Congress defunded any attempt to move the prisoners here, he could have closed down the prison by letting people go. After all, they have been charged with no crime and already served lots of time for nothing.)

Deporting more people than Bush

Continued assault on marijuana dispensaries.

Continued use of the PATRIOT Act to spy on Americans in violation of our 4th Amendment rights.

We're STILL in Afghanistan. Still.

Face it, this man is pro-corporate, DLC, New Dem, pro-business, etc. He is being criticized no more and no less than the last Democratic president we had who sold the working class down the river in order to appease Wall Street (Clinton). If you and your ilk can't face real criticism and have to call us racist, then so be it. When standing up for the for the working class in America is racist, it's a sad, sad day. I hope you can eat your money. I can't.
