(3,811 posts)challenged restrictive voting laws all across the country as the Holder DOJ has done? Would we be screaming if a Republican president ordered the government to extend benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees? Would we be screaming if a Republican president fought for passage of the DREAM Act and then order the INS to cease deportations of immigrants brought to the country as minors? Would we be screaming if a Republican president invested a record amount of money on alternative and renewable energy, finalized EPA mercury emission standards, began regulating greenhouse gas emissions as a public health hazard, toughened CAFE standards for fuel efficiency, and stepped back from calls for military action in Syria, Iran, Ukraine and elsewhere?

Like sheshe said, he ain't perfect and he ain't as liberal or progressive as the typical DUer.
