He could have done the same with marijuana legalization, closing Gitmo, prosecuting war criminals, prosecuting bankers, single payer, the Fairness Doctrine, you name it.

Unfortunately he was handed a flaming bag of shit on inauguration day and had to do the best he could. There are are no shortage of disappointments I've had in Obama's decisions but I think we'll have to wait for a little history to pass before we can make a clear assessment of his presidency.
