The problem is/was Obama set the bar too high while campaigning. He promised the world everything, and many people got duped into believing things would change drastically for the better at the drop of a hat. Well, almost a year later, I think some people are starting to realize that may not be the case. Of course, some people will argue that it is still too soon to see him work at his fullest potential, but only time will tell. Personally, I didn't believe in half the things he wanted to do during his campaign, and it's not because he's a Democrat, it's simply because he is a politician. They're the world's best car salesmen. They can promise you the world, and not do anything once they are elected. Now people are suddenly shocked that their dream life didn't come to fruition.
