Cenk Uygur a sell-out? 4 million little reasons

169. Because of his false claim about Obama having no agenda, which was recently

posted here on DU, as well as his prediction that Rand Paul will win in 2016 -- both of which opinions have come out since his taking the money in April.

Given the constraints he's been under with Congress, Obama has been doing a good job, in my opinion. Paul Krugman laid it all out in the recent Rolling Stone piece. Krugman wasn't initially a fan of Obama's, but he's impressed with what Obama has accomplished.

Of course, no one's paying Krugman $4 million to say otherwise. In fact, the Nobel prize winner left a cushy job at Princeton to become a professor at City College of New York instead.

Obama faces trash talk left, right and center – literally – and doesn't deserve it. Despite bitter opposition, despite having come close to self-inflicted disaster, Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and, yes, successful presidents in American history. His health reform is imperfect but still a huge step forward – and it's working better than anyone expected. Financial reform fell far short of what should have happened, but it's much more effective than you'd think. Economic management has been half-crippled by Republican obstruction, but has nonetheless been much better than in other advanced countries. And environmental policy is starting to look like it could be a major legacy.
