1. Well, there's fighting and there's fighting.
I think if Obama had fought when he was campaigning like he has fought while he has governed I'm not sure if he would ever have gotten the nomination much less elected. I sure would have loved to see a president who had a fire in his belly for his programs and who would go to the mattresses and fight like hell for them. But I guess that instead we saw a lot of bipartisanship and compromise.

Yeah, I'm disappointed too. I expected more.
