So much more that Obama should have done! Such a disappointment!
Let's start with healthcare, obviously. For all the benefits of the ACA, Obama has totally failed us on at least two fronts: (1) the lack of a public option, which would keep private ensurers honest by essentially forcing them to compete with something similar to medicare and (2) the ability of states to opt out of the Medicare Expansion, which is the source of the most of the (few) legitimate cases of people not well served by ACA, as opposed to people on FOX News/DU who hate Obama so much that they don't even bother doing any research before declaring that ACA ruined their lives.
OK, how about economic policy. Well, we all know Obama is a president for the 1%, which is why, for example, he has failed to raise the minimum wage. And he has also failed to pass the Buffett Rule, which would ensure that the 1%ers aren't able to loophole themselves down to a lower effective tax rate than the working class.
And then there are jobs initiatives. How about a bill to bolster domestic and infrastructure spending and also put more people to work? Or a bill to stop rewarding companies for shipping jobs overseas, but rather give them tax incentives to hire here in the US. Hello, Mr Obama, are you listening?
How great would it be if Obama passed a universal pro-K education program, funded primarily by closing loopholes for corporations and 1%ers? Investments in domestic manufacturing, in science and technology research? What about expanding the earned income tax credit by $60 billion over a decade, to help lower-income workers.
Did I miss anything? How about the DREAM act! That would have been nice. Thanks for nothing, Obama! And how about background checks for gun purchases? Nope! Maybe Obama actually wants people to keep getting shot.
Umm, but wait! Obama has actually proposed all of these things, and been blocked by Republicans in congress in every instance (or in the case of Medicaid expansion, by the supreme court). Hmm, maybe it's time to stop blaming Obama for everything wrong in the world, and instead elect Dems into congress, so we can actually get some things accomplished.
Because, however much you may hate Obama personally, the fact of the matter is that Obama with a Democratic congress would be ten times better than President Warren with a GOP congress (or President Sanders or President Nader or whoever else people are fantasizing about). I mean, maybe if Elizabeth Warren were president suddenly John Boehner and Mitch McConnell would have a big change of heart and come out in favor of single payer healthcare. But I really don't think so.

he hasn't done enough 
by omission or commission for everything that is wrong with private insurance companies, the GOP Congress, the Wall Street Criminals, and everything else the 1% do to hurt the rest of us. I often wonder why he even ran for President? Surely it was to do us no good.
