I mean honestly what do they want him to do? POTUS agendas have all been focused on the middle/lower class of people. Not to mention funding for college students... I know I couldn't have returned if it wasn't for financial aid and lower interest student loans.
BUT seriously, the man inherited deficits and debts when we was elected in '08. NOW.. HE HAS to address the gun violence, immigration, work on a budget for March... And still play watch dogg for other allies/countries ....
Take a number, get in line, and just wait dang!! He has four years to get all of that in check!!

NDAA Would Have Sent MLK to Gitmo, Says Cornel West. Dr. West was that provisions of the NDAA could have been used to lock away MLK without "due process or judicial process" – because he had known links to a man then commonly called a terrorist and now referred to as a heroic freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela.
"We have black political prisons right now in America," Dr. West said.
Dr. West called for government to instead be affirmative – to focus on resolving the plight of poor and working people. And he called for Americans to rise up and retake their country.
"It's not just about justice. Any justice that's only justice will soon degenerate into something less than justice – we gotta talk about love! Martin was a titan of love! If you're not talking about love and willingness to sacrifice, all this is just sounding brass and tinkling cymbal!"
"You gotta hit the streets, you gotta go to jail, you gotta be willing to die! That's what the movement's about! And if you're not willing to do that, then keep your jobs and drink your tea!" Dr. West concluded.
His arguments are not so far from those advanced by American libertarians – particularly those opposed to the NDAA and the increased surveillance powers it grants the federal government. In December 2011, Glenn Beck – now a full-fledged Ayn Rand-style libertarian – argued that the NDAA was a mechanism to indefinitely detain political undesirables.
But Dr. West and libertarians are far more likely to disagree on other things – namely, the plight of black America and the best way to resolve deepening poverty, inequality, and the lack of opportunity that comes with it. While Dr. West urges government to be "affirmative," libertarians would rather eliminate the government entirely.
However, it is a sign that Americans of all stripes and colors are growing increasingly suspicious of the developing security state. But it seems unlikely that these disparate wings of opposition could ever unite to oppose it.

I just so disagree with both Tavis and West... Look at Colin Powell... He supports the POTUS and when he disagrees with agenda problems he says.... he has to wait to see where things are going...
He said it back in March way before he announced support for Obama his 2nd term!
I feel that West's hate for Obama has more to do with a personal slight or vendetta and less to do with any real concern for "poor" blacks. These Uncle Toms have hate in their heart for Obama and any black person that they think is outshining them. Being Commander-In-Chief is a hard ass job, I'd like to see Cornel and Tavis do it!
To sum it all up...I've lost TONS of respect for Cornel & his buddy Tavis. I can't take them seriously no more...
