TPP, Arne Duncan&Education Obama's Worse Blunders.

By supporting GOP initiatives Obama weakened his presidency. Obama has been no true friend of unions, public employees, teachers or education. He as pretty much continued or supported GOP initiatives. That support has eroded confidence of those people effected. Obama has been far too lukewarm if not even hostile to teachers and public employees interests. He has not really been aggressive in supporting public employees. And he is pretty quiet about wholehearted union support. So who do you vote for if he and Dems do not really have your back.

And by attacking the progressive voters who were a large part of his base, he has weakened Democrats just like Clinton dod forcing Dems to support some GOP initiatives in the 90"s. Attacking your base is like a commander shooting his own troops. I have supported Obama all along, but his stands on the aforementioned issues really makes me furious.
