His response to the financial crisis led to millions having their homes illegally taken. He got us into 2 more wars in the ME.

This is not a personality or party issue. It's about an ideology that is not delivering on its promises for millions around the world.

Holding Obama personally responsible for the foreclosure crisis seems like a stretch, and he made significant efforts to retreat from ME 1/2

I'm not saying it's simple. I AM, however, saying that centrists are terrible at assessing their assumptions and the failures they bring.

Fair enough - but I think there are other systematic constraints that lead necessarily to more "centrist" outcomes. Can't just do w/e u want

Marcy is right that Obama's failure to prosecute the bankers who destroyed economy was massive. Perhaps THE biggest failure of Obama admin.

You think 1) it is, or even 2) should be, within the President's purview to direct federal prosecutions? How would that work?

Wow. Please study up on non-prosecution of the banks before you say that. Also what Treasury did.

DOJ chose not to prosecute. That was a mistake.
