46. I supported Obama in the primary season due to his ability to recognize Hillary's policies as
Republican Lite. In the long run of things, Obama has managed to push through most of Hillary's agenda. As soon as the primaries were over he dismissed his economic team and took on Hillary's. He pushed through her version of HCR and then appointed her Secretary of State and adopted her foreign policy in dealing with the "axis of evil".
There are many things Obama could have done that didn't require congress to act and still would have been considered progressive. Anyone remember his policy during the campaign season of talking to hostile countries without preconditions? When has he met with the leaders of Iran, NK or any other member of the "axis of evil"?
What happened to freezing out lobbyists during the HCR debate and everyone else's seat at the table? From all reports, the only people who had a seat at the table were lobbyists.
