The 99% have taken a horrible hit and under his administration, while the 1% have gotten everything they lost back, and more. He's done essentially zero to tackle health care costs; RomneyObamacare is primarily just expanded government payments for private health insurance so that more people can have insurance. Because it's unaffordable, Obama also offered to cut billions in Medicare benefits. He also called for totally unneeded cuts to Social Security. He may *talk* about taxing the 1%, but he's caved every time push came to shove.
Just last November Obama pushed through three "free" trade agreements that originated with Bush, which most all analysts believe will ship hundreds of thousands of jobs overseas. He's proposed corporate tax cuts which will close some loopholes but, according to analysts, will result in lower overall corporate tax revenues. He's failed to prosecute war criminals, maintained "extraordinary rendition", increased warrantless wiretapping, and flouted Habeas Corpus, due process, and other Constitutional guarantees.
While Obama is better than the Republicans, he's no prize.
