I believe that Mr. Obama came to the Presidency full-well meaning to do the things he promised. But it can be a funny thing when it comes to intention vs action. Reality bites in one the hind quarters, and the information on the inside, does not comport with what one thought as an outsider. Maybe President Obama has information the rest of us are not privy to, thus his often not living up to the expectations of the Left (or left). Not that we on the right (or the Right) think he's any great shakes either.
