(19,841 posts)Obama got elected on "liberal" rhetoric but he has governed as a centrist. Not necessarily all his fault since the system does not really support Liberal thinking in government. Especially in these days of Teabagger Representation. Obama's hands have been tied in several key battles. On the other hand he has missed some opportunities--we all know what they are. And there have been a few--a precious few but still--significant successes in our direction.
In light of this, we must accept that some are disillusioned and taking it out on the administration. And they have every right to do so without being castigated. Let people have their say, even if you disagree. We can't all be in lock-step here. Our task as intelligent voters is to hold BHO's feet to the fire, and people do that differently.
The Obama supporters on DU are more prevalent than the critics. So your view is skewed.
