Are you disappointed with Obama simply because you’re a racist?
No. While I appreciate some of the accomplishments of our president, there are a few areas in which he has failed badly, in stark contrast to his campaign promises. For example, government transparency and civil liberties.
I also think he tries too hard to find “the center” for political purposes, when some political participants are so far to the edges that they skew such attempts at triangulation. You don’t compromise with crazy.
