I can't see why conservatives are mad at him, as he basically became a Republican after he was elected.
-Extended the Bush tax cuts.
-Kept the Patriot Act.
-Kept the Drug War and failed to legalized Marijuana.
-Dragging his feet to create a Consumer Protection Agency with Elizabeth Warren at its head and failed to bring back the Glass–Steagall Act regulations.
-Appointed people who were responsible for the financial crisis to his cabinet and the Fed.
-Chose a stimulus that was 25% of what his economists said was needed and 28% of which was tax cuts.
-Failed to close subsides for corporations that outsources jobs overseas or oil companies that are making record profits.
-Cozy up to Wall Street and corporate interest.
-Failed to create a public works program to create jobs.
-Dragging his feet to close Gitmo (it's still open).
-Dragging his feet to end DADT (it's still in effect).
-Doesn't support gay marriage.
-Abandoned promise for net neutrality.
-Failed to use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to show support for unions under attack in Wisconsin, Ohio, and New Jersey.
-Failed to show support for Planned Parenthood that's under attack.
-Praised the Bowles-Simpson plan to gut Social Security and Medicare.
-Embraced his opponents who would never vote for him while abandoning his supporters.
-Did healthcare reform similar to what Mitt Romney did in Massachusetts.
-Escalated, just enough to anger the locals but not enough to bring in decisive results, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Yemen, without clear goals and an end game.
The nation was ready for change, but Obama chose the status quo. We wanted a FDR but we got a Herbert Hoover instead. I wonder how can he sleep at night knowing that people cried in joy at his election and are still crying because they're jobless and penniless. To those saying the President can't do everything, I say he entered office with a super-majority in Congress and a huge popular mandate for change. To those saying he doesn't want to appear to be too partisan, I say ultimately Americans like bold, decisive leadership. Bush was as partisan as partisan can be and he won reelection. If Obama thinks his meek and overly cautious leadership is going over well with the American people, he's dead wrong.

2. He just told Congress not to extend the Bush tax cuts.

We could do the same exact kind of exercise to show Clinton was a Republican or Bush was a Democrat (yes, really). Most of your examples may just as well point to ineffective leadership - not ideology. And some stuff, like pretending Romney's health care plan is a Republican idea, is just specious. It's like saying Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell and DOMA are Democratic ideas since Clinton signed them.
Certainly Obama has not lived up to the hype and undefined and abstract hopes of his admirers. Also, Bush was not that partisan, but he did pursue unpopular policies. As evidence consider his attempt at immigration reform and his signing of Ted Kennedy's No Child Left Behind.
This is not a lightsaber. Nor a euphemism.

Well put, Mrebo. A better response than the one I was too lazy to post myself.

God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

There's also a more funny Russian joke to go along with it. But again it'd be better in another thread not this one.
