My issues with Obama are the same with any fiscal liberal (Myself being a fiscal conservative).
When Obama uses a phrase like, " I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money."
It shows his core believe, that the Government owns the result of your labor first, and allow you
to keep what the Government deems fair. (we are all just part of a large plantation.)
The Government is not charged participating in charity.
When did Liberals become more interested in, is everyone getting an equal amount, vs,
I want to be as free as possible?
When they became socialists but were afraid of the stigma. They will say, "I am not a socialist (bad word), I am a liberal (another bad word), so now they are progressives.*
*'Socialist' and 'Liberal' have been historically such failures that they had to adopt 'Progressive', which is being added to the garbage heap. That's why so many of them call themselves 'Centrists' and 'Moderates'. Conservatives have no such qualms.
It's because he is black.
Socialists are completely different from Progressives. Their beliefs aren't even close to being alike. That is mere partisan name calling.
You really believe that bull****, hahahahaha. You really shouldn't believe everything you think.
The 'hahahahaha' makes it convincing.
I'm not sure why people believe they should be taken seriously, when they feel their opinions put them above respecting anyone who does not share them.

This is the way things were in the 1600s, (slaves,etc) and to a lesser extent going into the 21st century..The only goal of business is to make money. Buy it's very nature, a business sees humans as nothing more than another natural resource and a renewable one at that. It does not notice the health of humans, the discomfort if them, or even whether they die as long as there are plenty of replacements to continue business as usual. As long as dead or dying humans are making more money for business than they cost to replace, it's good business to let them die. Indeed, this is already a part of history where many humans have died and many more have become sick from the byproducts of business. Without government to protect humans you have condemned humans to being nothing more than another commodity existing solely to be exploited by business as it sees fit.

For historic examples of policies that were not anti-business see: Superfund | US EPA
'Progressive' is actually an umbrella term that encompasses the entire 'democratic left' of the political spectrum, and as such it's an inaccurate way of describing one's political views. For example, a libertarian socialist and a social-liberal could both call themselves 'progressives' despite their ideologies having little in common.
I find 'liberal' (or social-liberal, or modern liberal) to be a perfectly accurate characterization for many people on this forum who call themselves progressives.
"Bush did it first" and "Obama is black, therefore you're a racist" are apparently the only talking points Obama needs to repel attacks from the right. Pathetic.
The conservatives can raise a trillion dollars in campaign funds and all President Obama has to do with pennies is to point out these things.
Well, I do, probably too much so...This was established primarily to offset the right-wing media (Fox).This is the "left-wing fringe"?
.Agenda Project.
And obviously you never watch MSNBC. But it's not surprising that you're unaware of how much your own side does it. Partisan hackery.
It's because he is black.
Indeed.
I for one have little respect for the "right".
They are for the wealthy and seem to have little regard for the minorities or the environment, or for woman...or even the average American... The conservatives can raise a trillion dollars in campaign funds and all President Obama has to do with pennies is to point out these things.
You've got it all wrong, CHENEY was the anti-Christ.
Anybody up for a little quail hunting?!?I was somewhat fine with Cheney.

I would much rather have had Cheney than Bush.
