Anybody else tired of Obama complaints?

I can't stand the republicans whining about the things Obama does. They are always in the wrong or at least 99.5% of the time. They are corporate shills and backwards idiots whose only ideal is cash money. They are a national embarrassment and obstructing progress BUT I am also sick of people who say we can't criticize Obama policies we disagree with just because there are some jerks out there who are worse. This is an age old game to maintain the status quo and Obama has shown that he does it willingly even when the forces of conservatism don't have a say. NSA, FOIA and transparency, secret trade agreements, keeping Bush holdovers in the DEA and as DAs, supporting coups in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, hiring lobbyists to every position, flip flopping on telecom immunity or myriad other corporate causes. I don't rail against him about irrelevant crap like republicans but I won't allow fellow democrats try to force me to get in line when it's been one betrayal after another all to please the same jerks we are complaining about. If someone tries to label me a libertarian because I don't support foreign wars, drug laws or mass surveillance then it just proves how weak some have become since adopting Bill Clinton's cozy up to corporations strategy. If people haven't noticed we lost our country a couple decades ago and have to deal with the corruption now...I suggest yes be mad at republicans but also accept they are almost beyond saving and try to get back to our left wing roots because being republican-lite or a hopeless moderate is why we are in this predicament to begin with. We didn't even have the courage to stand up to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice over 911...I believe that's is when we pathetically lost our way.
