FWIW, in an interview with The Hill, former presidential Green Party Candidate and perennial political gadfly Ralph Nader ripped President Obama for his performance during his first year in office. Nader accused Obama of being "far too concessionary to large corporations" and said that his first year had been a "weak presentation of self."

Nader also said, "I never through he'd achieve the degree of political cowardliness he projects towards his oppoents or big business, or that politically that he'd turn his back on liberals and progressives...The minute you signal you're going to cave cave, you're going to cave... you lose your bargaining power."
