Gittmo?

Afghanistan?

Failing to do away with the Village Idiot's welfare for the rich?

Now, chained CPI for SS?

The BP disaster?

Wall Street crooks?

The previous administration's War Crimes?

Just a few of the broken promises........I know, he is far better than the alternative, but I contend that he is far worse than what the Democratic alternative in 2008 was. I voted for him twice, and have no remorse, just am bewildered by his lack of resolve to actually effect the changes that he campaigned so hard upon. I am sorely disappointed with him now because he never has to run for office again, so his current actions reflect his core beliefs. Politicians........you just cannot trust them........period.
