Nate Silver has a nice post Cuomo, Obama and the Realm of the Possible "The point is not that this is the right strategy or the wrong strategy. It might well have been the right strategy — I don’t come to a conclusion about that. But I do think it’s fair to characterize it as a risk-averse strategy. And that, at the core, is what bothers some liberals about Mr. Obama’s approach to the presidency. Fairly or not, they want him to push the envelope more than he has and to take a few more chances — to expand the realm of the possible, as Mr. Cuomo seems to have done in New York."
It doesn't mention the bully pulpit as other complaints do but that's my issue. He's not trying to use public opinion to help him win issues and as a result I think public opinion is drifting further right than it need to.
