You cannot divorce this simple fact from any argument on his governance, hence, he is referred to as such.

ooooh the humor of you calling "liberals finding their voice" a lie.. While you list liberals, who found their voice. I now return you to your typical crybaby temper tantrum in regards to people being "murdered"..

This suspicion may be right--which calls into question Obama's attempts to injure the people who would be doing the hiring to bump the jobs numbers to save his bacon. The best way to boost jobs is to take your boot off the throats of employers.

I would only argue that the contemporary Republican Party since at least Reagan hasn't been conservative other than socially which I personally reject.

However since this is about Obama's performance and criticism from the left, I don't wish to get too far off topic.

Care to join an anti-war rally by any chance?

Let's see....

-Continue the wars ? Check
-Continue to bail out Wall Street ? Check
-Continue to push an agenda through Congress that doesn't have the best interests of the American citizens at heart ? Check

The above can apply to either Obama or Bush.

I voted for Bush twice, 3 times if you include his father. Both of whom did fine jobs as President. That you didnt care for their leadership is your misguided media driven opinion

What would their criticisms be on Afghanistan? Seems to me if these liberals had better approaches for the U.S being able to win there they would be comming at the president with them.
