I like the man and i think he does a good job most of the time but should we not hold our elected leaders accountable when we don't agree with policy stances they take? isn't that the point of Democracy? speaking truth to power.

Did you like the patriot act when it was signed? if you didn't then you understand why we would like Obama to make a attempt at putting a stop to it,Cause if he doesn't then its not likely anyone will.

I am guessing you are not a fan of Tavis Smiley or Cornel West? I love them.

I don't see anyone saying they can do better i just see people practicing Democracy is that really such a bad thing?
