No matter what PBO does, he'll always have critics on both the right and the left. Despite all of what he accomplished the past few years like ending DADT, student loan reform, ending the Iraq War and winding down the Afghan War, and strengthening Affirmative Action, there are still Debbie Downers who are trying to say he's not far enough to the left or something. I watched his MTP interview yesterday, and he sounded like a man who was aware he has critics from both sides, but sincerely wants to get things done and do what is practical for the country and the working class. I respect him.
