5. I would endorse him too, if those things were true
"President Obama is fighting back"

The sad truth is that "President Obama is caving in, and adopting their talking points."

"Turning our economy around is going to take a tremendous effort – an effort that must be led by a president who speaks for the 99 percent of Americans who clock into work every morning, instead of those who simply watch stock tickers all day."

That's sorta true. However, many members of the top 1% work jobs too. They are CEOs and managers and actors and professional atheletes. Many other members of the top 4% and the top 9% work jobs as well, but the generally are not on the same side as the bottom 60%. Obama has done a very poor job of speaking for, and fighting for the bottom 60%.

As such, he deserves to be challenged at this point rather than endorsed for doing something he has not done.
