I'm not entirely convinced that "compromise with the Republicans" deserves the blame for Obama failing to deliver on the reform we need. I'm not convinced that he hasn't used that for an excuse rather than it being the real reason. I see the fact that Wall Street and the pharmaceutical and health-insurance industries have given enormous amounts of money to his campaigns and those of other Democrats as sufficient to explain much of what he's done as president.
And that is really my biggest disappointment in him: that he has turned out to be on the take from corporate America just like anyone else able to rise to the position he holds. At this point, the only reason to vote for Obama for a second term is damage control, because as bad as he's been, a Republican president would undeniably be even worse.
The Health Insurance industries contributed to his campaigns? Do you have a link to support that?
