In Oliver Stone's new book, he says that Obama "took a bad situation, and in certain ways, made it worse".

I couldn't agree more!!

So you're agreeing with a couple of authors who are arguing that Obama's policies didn't go far enough--that is, his policies were not liberal enough. Essentially, you're claiming that Obama's liberal credentials are questionable--if you agree with the authors--and that Obama is essentially a GW Bush disciple with a Democratic label. How interesting.

For full disclosure, I agree that Obama's policies have not gone far enough, but I recoil at any "history" produced by Oliver Stone regardless of who his co-author might be.

But the synopsis of the book says that the situation is worse BECAUSE Obama's policies have not been liberal enough! It might help if you actually read the link you posted.

Never thought I'd see the day when a Romney operative like jt800 would agree with an ultra-liberal like Oliver Stone.

Clearly, he didn't read his own link.

Nevermind that Oliver Stone is still gonna vote for Obama again. He forgot to mention that too.
