Ive heard some otherwise intelligent people say this about Obama, that they are disappointed that he didnt deliver on every syllable of what he said he wanted to do. There is a difference between a presidential candidate and a President. A candidate can tell you everything he would like to do, they are called campaign promises, and they are probably perfectly sincere ( well more or less depending on the candidate). They present a beautiful picture of the perfect country every candidate, and every American would like to have.

A president has to deal with reality and this president has had a more than normally bleak reality. He has done a magnificent job.

Now, if you are disappointed in Obama or any other candidate, let me ask you: How many times have you written a letter to your congressman or to a newspaper supporting him? How hard have you worked and how much have you donated to campaigns to try to get him a congress that will work with him? Or, once he was elected, did you consider it a done deal and forget about the whole process? Obama said "Yes, WE can. He never said “Yes I can”. If you haven’t done whatever you could to have his back, you really have less right to be disappointed in him than he has to be disappointed in you.
