Hence my criticism of Obama is not that he is "taking away choice", but that, as with many of his policies, it's a half-assed indecisive mish-mash that didn't go far enough...

I think the biggest problem with Obama is that he tries too hard to compromise and reach bi-partisan consensus on many issues but the Republicans (and in particular the insane Tea Party wing of the party) have no interest in cooperation. That's why the healthcare bill, for example, has been criticized by both sides -- people who wanted a government-run single-payer system think it didn't go far enough, and people who think any government program is by definition "bad" think it went too far and will bankrupt the nation.
