Obama is far from the first President to criticize the SC. Jackson, Hoover, FDR and Reagan are notable examples of Presidents who criticized their decisions. Reagan, in particular, was big on demanding constitutional amendments to override SC decisions with which he disagreed.

And Bush, of course, went off about activist federal judges re: gay marriage.

And not just Presidents. Robert Bork criticized them; Rick Perry did (though he also thought there were only eight), and I imagine there are more if one wants to google.
