What is your REAL view of the Obama Presidency?

5. I think it's been a tremendous waste of potential.

A real disappointment.

When he was swept into office in a landslide with a mandate to make real change he and the party balked and bent over backwards to appease the Republicans.

People wanted the complete opposite of what we've been getting over the past thirty years and in particular the Bush disaster. But instead we just got more of the same. 2009 was the time to put the clamps on Wall Street, to raise taxes on the rich, to put the brakes on the globalism that has been decimating the workers of the country, to get card check, to get Medicare for all, to end the wars, to rebuild this country's infrastructure from the ground up and we did none of that.

Everything is still by and for the 1%. We needed a new FDR style of government and we ended up with someone that has been more Reagan than Reagan.

It's sick and sad and I see no future for this country. The best days are past. It didn't have to be this way. There was a real opportunity to do great things but no one took it. No one even tried.
