Mr. President, I'm sure you think you're a lefty. Hell, the way the Right screams about you, you probably half-think you're the reincarnation of Lenin. But you're basically in the middle, and so is what you're getting done. Left enough to make the Right squeal, but that's not particularly difficult.

You're not really rewarding the people that put you in, and you and the DNC are afraid to (or in cahoots to not) use the vast majorities we earned for you in Congress. So you're getting a big "meh". You're getting what you want done, you're getting what you promised to get done, but what that is is... less than inspiring. We really did figure that with supermajorities in both houses of Congress, your soaring popularity, the disintigration of the Republican party, and the near-depression shaking up the country and the world, you would see this as a chance to really get stuff done, stuff that needed to get done, to make historic changes that would shape 2 or 3 generations of Americans.

And, well, you're not.
