I'm a Kasich supporter, can I answer?
I certainly don't like Mr. Obama's blind hatred of our Constitution and civil rights, but I think he did quite good on many other policy issues.

Of course there are several things that I praise him for, DACA and DAPA for example, but there are many areas that I feel he fell short of his promise (in ways that the Republicans can't be blamed for). But he turned out to be quite moderate.
His moderation was clear back when he was running for office. The Left kept deluding themselves that he was a Leftist extremist, but those delusions were self-imposed. I remember making posts on a2k back in 2008 trying to tell Liberals that Mr. Obama was actually a reasonable moderate, and they refused to believe me.
His moderation is actually a good thing though. Extremism is bad.

There is no abuse of the drone program.
What could you possibly be upset about? He is protecting us from the terrorists. That's his job.
maxdancona wrote:Obama's policy in Syria, particularly the "red line" that wasn't a red line was clearly flawed.
Seems pretty good to me. He has kept us out of the war as much as possible. As far as the chemical weapons go, he managed to have them removed from Syria and destroyed, and before things broke down enough that terrorists had a chance to seize control over them.
Would you rather tens of thousands of US soldiers were on the ground in Syria being attacked by every faction, all while Assad blamed the entire war on our invasion and half the world believed him?

He never promised to be anything more than a reasonable moderate.
