14. He did things
But what he did doesn't match the legend. His supposed conservative legislation was a myth. He didn't have much at all. I agree he sold the nation on the language of conservatism, well his version anywho. But he did very little that was conservative. It was pretty main stream republican at the time. Government grew, taxes went up. Spending went up. Go back and read the papers of the time. The conservatives were PISSED.

Which is a good metaphor for Obama. He talks a good game, but his legislation isn't all that liberal, and progressives are PISSED.
