But for others, including PoC, there is criticism to be made because he has furthered the move of the Dem Party to the right. And it's not a racist thing because the same people have the same criticism of Bill Clinton. A lot of our current problems are due to policies he signed. And when Obama took office he immediately appointed banksters to his admin. That is a slap in the face to the people.
Of course race is a major issue in this country, but not every criticism of a PoC is due to racism. Liberals and progressives have long been unhappy with the party's shift to the right that has been happening since the formation of the DLC, which courted and recruited Bill Clinton to make the Dem Party more corporate friendly.
Well now we have two parties that are center and right and until we get a president (and other Dem leaders) to start shifting it back to the left, the president and Dem leaders are going to be criticized by those who want the party to get back to its roots and be about the people and not corporations and banksters.
