What has Obama not been liberal enough about?
He has continued several of Bush's policies that he spoke out against as a candidate. (This includes FISA among other things.)
He has not yet repealed the Patriot Act.
He has not yet done anything about the War on Drugs or plans to in the immediate future.
He has basically told the public option people to drop dead.
He wants Mandatory Insurance now because of a concession he made to Republicans.
He seems to have no likely plans about rewriting NAFTA despite saying he was going to as a candidate.
I could go on really. Obama has moved dramatically to the center since becoming President. Especially since he is was supposedly one of the most Liberal senators in office.
Bill Maher also explains it quite well:
