You name things that conservative news hosts like those found on FOX might care about but I highly doubt any Obama supporters care at all.
Here's some O criticism:
If anything, liberals are probably unhappy about the fact that he has carried out and expanded the Bush era policies in much of government.
I'm pretty independent for a Californian but I can tell you that Obama has been far Right of center on:
1. WAR. He only ended the Iraq war at the predetermined timeline which was established (down to the exact month) by GW Bush.
He expanded greatly the war in Afghanistan, although it may be winding down soon.
He greatly expanded or oversaw the "coming to life" of the CIA's drone killing program.
He approved the usage of US military force (everything but troops) in Libya.
2. Health Care:
Actual liberals wanted either a government public option for the citizenry to get public health care much like the military and congress OR even more liberal would have been a Single Payer System.
Instead his plan (and corp controlled congress) is mandated privately run insurance for all citizens. You will be fined if you don't participate.
3. The environment:
He is likely to approve the trans Canada pipeline even though many of the local people in those states (including a lot of republican citizens) don't want it to go through.
4. The Fed and Banking:
He kept Ben Bernanke, a Bush appointee and appointed many ex-Bankers to run the treasury and other financial arms of our government. These are not liberal college professors but many are the actual bankers who were in charge of firms when the 2008 financial collapse occurred.
5. Jobs programs and unemployment:
He appointed the sitting CEO of General Electric as the head Jobs CZAR. This is a company which has avoided paying taxes for years and is moving jobs oversees every day. Maybe you all don't appreciate it but jobs are going to China and Mexico via Outsorucing and our current president is doing nothing to stop it, he isn't even talking about it. Unemployment remains relatively high, but appears lower since the gov keeps (they have done this before) rewriting the formulas.
6. Citizens Rights:
This president signed into law legislation that would allow the government to detain an American citizen without warrant or trial.
His administration has overseen the largest data collection of American citizens (or any people) the world has ever known. Read Wired.com - it is all public information. In UT the NSA has just this year finished building the 2nd largest data enter in the world (only one bigger is in Tokyo).
7. Social Programs:
He was the first president to put Social Security on "the table" as a possible cut in benefits discussion. Even now the great sequester'a military cuts will only shrink the budgeted amount of growth each year to roughly 2%.
8. The annual budget and the military:
The Sequester does not include actual cuts to military programs or a blanket way to reduce our massive (what $750 Billion?) annual budget down over ... say 5 years by 1/3 or anything reasonable. Nope it only includes cuts to growth and preserves current amounts which are borrowed anyways. The sad part is they are now cutting troop deployments and funding by slashing 1) the OPs budget to preserve the massive jobs program that is the pentagon and 2) the enormous military contracts programs (remember the Bradly fighting vehicle ... The wasteful spending is much worse now.
9. Foreign policy in the Middle East.
Here I think they are near totally incompetent and would prefer we go back to the Bush policies of hunting down all militarily religiously terror groups. Instead we are considering arming Al-Q backed Syrian rebels who want to re-instate the Caliphate and are funded by Al-Q groups and even fly their flag on the battle field. Total incompetence. Coincidentally (sarcasm) there are a lot of oil pipelines in the Middle East, especially near Syria and whomever controls that land can make deals favorable or unfavorable to individual foreign countries and corporations.

This site in great detail covers (with plenty of sources) how Obama has expanded on Bush's conservative policies in many areas all while "talking the liberal talk" - it seems to have worked on many of his followers who rarely criticize the president.
