I guess you’re fine with his performance, but I am disappointed in some respects. Obama set the bar high with all his rhetoric and promises and now he has to deliver the goods or he will have problems with the voters. And some of his moves are questionable. My feedback on his job performance is not unfair, although most lizards find it to be. I don’t really care.

I don’t find criticism inappropriate—fair is not really relevent here—I’m just reacting to some details such as ‘he set the bar high with promises and rhetoric’—unlike most people who run for president?

And yes, of course he has to perform, or lose voters. But ‘perform’ to him, and many voters, does not mean ‘move right’.

So what you’re really saying is that you think the economy will improve if the Obama admistration’s economic policy veers right. I don’t agree, but it’s a reasonable statement. I just twitch over how the statement’s being packaged.
