RE: Americans: How much do you approve of the Obama administration?

Insofar as Obama basically carried the Bush / Cheney / neo-con policies on for eight more years, I have little use for his Administration. His health care reform was feeble, benefiting insurance companies and drug manufacturers as much as anyone else. He is Wall Street's best friend and protector, and his Free Trade agreements are as damaging as anyone's. I would not have minded so much if he had gone down fighting the Right Wing in this country. But he laid down and begged them for "cooperation" and they kicked his ass anyway. He went rouge with his drone wars, executing thousands of innocents on some kind of a whim, and never saw a police state tactic that he didn't aprove. The left wing likes to say that "it could have been worse" under a Republican President but, fuck, it couldn't have been much worse. Obama turned out to be a complete waste of an historic opportunity to change the direction of the country, and I am starting to think it was the last opportunity that we will have. From now on it it is straight into the shitter.
