since you asked

Why am I unsubscribing from email from you, President Barack Obama, on the occasion of your second attempt this week to get me to give you money to back a half-assed bandaid on the way health care works in this country?

"Single payer health care! Not this nonsense, and asking us for money to help with it.

Some going back on campaign declarations is to be expected, but the overall air of compromise of the Obama administration so far is beginning to give off the scent of mediocrity. Just cuz you're so much better than the last guy, that doesn't mean you're doing well enough."

He basically recycled whatever was available from previous democratic presidential candidates. Nothing new or change-oriented there. And we knew he'd be centrist.

I'm considering starting a letter writing campaign to him and everyone who represents me weekly. Cuz it doesn't seem like people are taking to the streets and I just need to feel like I'm doing something.

I don't know if he is or isn't, but I hope she is. Who knows, though?

This site might hopefully develop into a good central source of information and petitions on the slights thus far: Obama's Plan for Gay Rights. (The content that is there--which isn't much so far--seems fairly useful.)
