My issue is that it's all so half assed- if you want to make things better, screw comprimise with obstructionists- and if you want to send the world into the crapper and set yourself up as El Presidente For Life, go for that, but dont piss on me and say it's "trickle down econemics".

Everyone bemoans that the Teddy Rooseveldts and Winston Churchils are extinct, but they forget what bastards those guys were when people stood in their way. If they try to please everyone, or even "the base" instead of doing the right thing, nothing gets accomplished.
Worse still, they make guys like Reagan or Kennedy into mythical figures while ignoring all their positions that would make their getting eleted today impossible.
plus, they're dead, but that's a whole different debate.

I think that list goes on and on. Lincoln, FDR, Washington. Pretty much every great president had plenty of flaws because they were human but we tend to gloss over that. At least, we do for the ones we agree with politically. On that note, Reagan was a boss!
