Well, between watering down the health care reform to an insurance scheme, messing up the repealing of DADT, maintaining a soft stance on gay marriage, and extending the tax cuts, I think you will find that most leftists are disappointed at Obama's right-leaning centrism. I'm sure many would readily admit he's pandering too much to the Republicans.
I haven't heard all that many praises being sung; however, calling him an "utter failure" seems a bit extreme, and I think this is a position you'd have difficulty defending.
