Reply #25: And sometimes promises can't be fulfilled when see the reality.

Obama now has an in on the magnitude of the shit he's facing. I think he had a relative understanding but now he sees he has a mess. The entire department of the Interior is a MESS and corrupt! Did anyone EVER really talk about that during the time of Bush?! I doubt it. We had a financial collapse and when you go through the red tape it's a mess.

You act like he should be able to do everything he expected to do. I think he thought he could do it too. But then he also saw that his own people---ie fellow Democrats are in on this too added to the complete obstruction of the Republicans for bills he supports they write. They dumped him and you act like this is possible for him to fulfill it all. Out of his 400+ promises he's only broken 19 of them. 19 do you hear that. He's fulfilled over 150 of them and compromised on a few so there can be some type of win here. And yet you summarize everything he's done as a failure.

Luckily a good number of his supporters, outside of DU seem to still be supportive of him.
