(8,377 posts)If we criticized his center-right policies, we would be criticizing about 80% of what he has done.
I stick with the most extreme, insanely right-wing positions, like:
1) Trying to name a person like Summers as Fed chief
2) Unilaterally invading Syria in lock-step with McCain and Graham
3) Offering significant Medicare cuts before even exploring the obvious solution of raising regressive the income cap
4) Throwing the IRS under the bus when they were actually acting responsibly
5) Doing everything in his power to protect the S-I-C.
These are positions to the right of most of the Republican Presidents since Nixon.
Obama has done some good things. and I think we are all willing to give him credit for that. But the balance is not what any reasonable person should have expected.
