but at least he did get rid of bushes stem cell ban.

Strictly a guess but i would think that he hasn't taken a more liberal stance (or done anything in some cases) on some issues especially the dont ask, dont tell issue is that the polling shows that it wont be well received and may hurt his numbers.
