Pres. Obama has not persecuted one single perpetrator of the housing bubble/derivatives crash.
Pres. Obama supports trade agreements that kill middle class American jobs.

Pres. Obama has been a severely conservative president.
The liberal/progressive/Democratic base is not now motivated to turn-out for the 2014 elections -- either Pres. Obama needs to finally embrace progressivism or we all need to move into the post-Obama era and do whatever we can to preserve the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate and save as many U.S. Representatives as we can.
And all the little laughing gifs in the world won't change that fact.
