(16,867 posts)when he ran in 2008 and 2012. I preferred him over Hillary Clinton because he talked about changing the system. He hasn't even tried. We were told by his supporters, 'just elect him again. He won't have to run again, and he'll finally be allowed to be himself.' I think he's being himself and I don't like it.
The scary thing about all this is we now have to ponder about where we go from here. We elected a man in good faith who said he would change things and it's becoming pretty clear that he has no intention of doing that. If we can't trust a man who runs for office to keep his word, where do we go from here? Can we achieve change through elections? I think it's a fair question to consider when we can't trust the word of the people running for office. Without the people's trust, the system we have cannot work.
