that's the problem.
We criticize him to help improve the situation.

"look guy, you were a little soft, your base is unhappy... try again"

It all comes down to him giving in without even APPEARING to put up a fight.
that's really what we want... a leader, and the president hasn't acted like a leader.

this president is either a capitulator (a blue dog) or he's weak.
that's a problem. It doesn't matter if there's a D or not... his actions have mostly harmed this country.
YES he slowed down the impending depression II, but he hasn't done any fighting in public against the gop, who put all this into motion to begin with.

he doesn't FIGHT which is what we need... a leader who will fight FOR the progressive cause.
Even if we end up with the SAME legislation as we have now... he difference would be an ENERGIZED BASE, one who was willing to fight FOR the president, to walk miles again, banging on thousands of doors to make sure he was re-elected with a GREATER SUPER majority than last time....

but he hasn't done that.
he's beaten us down with his own words, AND his actions.... he beat us quiet. he wanted the left, the progressives quiet... so we're quiet.

We are allowed to bitch on our own message board!
But we'll be quiet, just like he asked us to... during the election.
