The biggest complaints I hear about Obama from progressives all come down to this: he isn't cleaning up Dubya's mess fast enough. Bush started unnecessary wars, Obama isn't ending them fast enough. Bush has trampled our civil liberties, Obama isn't fixing those. Bush demolished our economy, Obama hasn't fixed it yet. The list is endless. But if you consider the attitude congress has had towards Obama, I'm honestly a little surprised he's been able to get anything done with his time in office. I mean, Bush spent a lot of time in office with a majority in both houses of congress and even the democrats were reasonable enough that they weren't going to blindly filibuster anything he supports. Obama doesn't get that luxury.
