Obama is now a Republican

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. 

Ever heard of the Politics thread, you sexy loser you?

Woah, it's RedFive!

The two party system shares more common traits then dissimilar ones.

Oh, and this is why we have The New Thread Thread.

I wish Obama was a Republican. Things would finally start to get interesting.

I am going to post this where it belongs.

Why? It doesn't belong anywhere, it was obviously just baiting.

You don't think this belongs in the political thread?  It sure seems to be about politics to me.

huh?

I agree.

That makes no sense.

It belongs in boring politics thread.

I'm guessing this made more sense in your native language.
