I noticed this during the huge budget fights etc early on right after Obama won his first term...siding with the wall street wing, caving, capitulating and compromising on some pretty "toxic out of the gate" bills when there really Wasn't any reasonable compromise to be made because the bill(s) were That bad..then hooking up with Paul Ryan to "voucher medicare" and supported (if memory serves) Chained CPI for Soc Security while ignoring calls to Lift the cap.....
He voted for some pretty bad nominees against our will....
I did vote for him last time...but it was only a vote Against his opponent....not For wyden. Oregon can do better ... he's "been there" 30 Plus years. He needs to retire and Oregon needs actual progressives representing us, imo.
Then, most recently, instead of meeting with, talking to activists Against TPP in Portland recently...he Ran away and hid...GOP style!
