Its the things he proposes and the policies he follows that draw the criticism.

If he would stop offering to cut social security every 5 minutes, there would be less criticism.

If he would stop persecuting whistleblowers as if this was a totalitarian dictatorship, there might be less criticism.

If he would stop killing women and children in other countries with his total unethical and morally unjustifiable drone strikes, there would be less criticism.

If he would agree that he does not have the right to assassinate American citizens without due process, there would be less criticism.

If he would actually come out in support of the labor movement that helped elect him, there would be less criticism.

If he didn't brag that he was actually a moderate republican ( by Reagan standard ), there would be less criticism.

If he had given us Single payer health insurance, instead of " Romneycare ", there would be less criticism.

Don't just sit back and say " the election is over, we won ".

It certainly seems like we have not won a damned thing....
