President Donald Trump has made it a point during his first two months in office to take decisive action to fulfill his campaign promises on multiple fronts, and that has made many of his critics and haters on the left quite mad.

Yet, lefty New York Times columnist Ezra Klein thinks that liberals ought to be "upset" with former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden for failing to fulfill their own lofty vows to voters, according to Fox News.

He highlighted a handful of major projects with ambitious goals launched under the Democratic presidents that ended up being unmitigated failures and chided progressives for valuing an idealistic "vision" over achieving actual results.

Biden didn't get it done

Klein has been making the rounds recently to promote his new book "Abundance," co-authored with The Atlantic's Derek Thompson, that purports to take a critical look at liberal governance and how leftist policies and regulations have hampered and undermined prosperity and success.

On Wednesday, Klein joined Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom on his eponymous podcast to discuss that subject, and at one point seemed to call out former Presidents Biden and Obama for failing to deliver on their promised policies and projects.

As just one example, Klein pointed to a project authorized by Biden's 2021 infrastructure bill that aimed to spend $42 billion to expand broadband internet to rural areas across the country, but observed that states and municipalities had to navigate through excessive bureaucratic red tape and multi-step processes to apply for and receive any of those funds, such that "By the end of the administration, of the 56 states and jurisdictions that were trying to apply for the money, three had made it through."

"So much of the political theory of the Biden administration was that if you can show liberal democracy can deliver, you will pull people out of wanting these strongmen who say they're going to burn the whole thing down and give you something out of the ashes," the author asserted.

He added, "If the things don't move fast enough, if they don't get to the people fast enough, it's much harder for liberal democracy to make the case that it delivers."

Obama failed to deliver

Klein wasn't done there, though, as he proceeded to highlight a few of former President Obama's failures, at least one of which can also be partially blamed on Gov. Newsom, like the decades-old and massively overbudget high-speed rail project in California.

Recalling a recent conversation with former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau about that president's major economic stimulus bill, Klein mentioned, "I was saying that, the stimulus bill under Obama, that had three big headline projects for reinvestment. It had high-speed rail, it had smart grid, and it had a nationwide system of interoperable health records."

"Yeah. 0-for-3," he added. "At some point, we gotta be upset about this, you know?"

Nobody should get credit for unrealized visions

Just moments later, Gov. Newsom attempted to gloss over the high-speed rail project's failure as he agreed with Klein that "There is the fundamental disconnect, and you're absolutely right, as it relates to these large-scale audacious projects."

The governor went on to assert, "But at least there’s a vision. At least Obama had a vision. He wanted to be big in big things, he wanted to do big things, and at least progressive states still have a vision."

"I’m all for vision. My upset -- the point of this book, is that I want the things to happen," Klein interjected with a subtle rebuke of Newsom and other ideologues, and later added, "I don't want to give anybody credit for a vision that didn't happen."
