The first two years that you think "were exceptional", "centrist" politics and policies, Obama basically did nothing.
Americans put Obama and Democrats into power to get affordable, quality medical treatment for everyone. Instead Obama, as salesman and customer, sold insurance policies on behalf of the insurance industry to the American people and purchased insurance policies on behalf of the American people. Over-priced junk insurance, with no guarantee of treatment and not at affordable prices. Obama's no longer playing 3D chess; he's playing Monopoly, by himself, with him as the banker.
He didn't use the bu//y pu/pit, didn't twist arms, he refused to use his considerable oratorical skills and political capital to deliver the real healthcare reform that voters put him and Democrats into power to achieve. No, instead Obama knee-capped his base, undercut left-leaning Democrats working on delivering to Democratic voters what had been promised to them in the 2008 campaign by cutting secret deals with Big Business (all the while telling the public that it was Congress that writes legislation, not the president, so he's "staying out of it"), and rallied the last supporter of a public option's constituents against him.
