The problem is that it is their definition of progress, not everyone's. I would not say that bigger government and more people on government subsidies is progress but he clearly would disagree.
But the President does not categorically believe in change, campaign slogans notwithstanding. He has stayed the course on drone strikes, for instance, or you can google "ways Obama is the same as Bush" to find many people whose character is beyond reproach detailing lists from 5 to 100 items.
He doesn't even categorically believe in bigger government, if he did he wouldn't have signed into law $1,000,000,000,000 in cuts, which I can only assume is true because it is published on the Internet. Whoever was really behind the cuts is irrelevant, the vote in the House was not enough to overcome a veto. That the bill was part of a larger compromise is irrelevant, an uncompromising person by definition does not compromise.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
