He talks a great talk. Enough so that as a sworn conservative I supported him. Unfortunately regardless of his amazing rhetoric his actions been a huge disappointment.

He seemed like a great solution to the GOP policies that were consolidating and expanding power in the executive branch of our government and weakening the checks and balances that keep the same from overstepping its bounds, however in actual practice he has made the situation much worse.

On the positive side, as a gun owner, 2nd amendment advocate and gun enthusiast, I as well as many others have been very disturbed by his anti gun initiatives, however in point of fact I think few presidents have done more to increase gun ownership in the US, to the point where ammunition in common calibers have been hard to find.

Again on the positive side I think Obama has illustrated to any who observe that both parties in the US are just two sides of the same fucked up coin and and any "solution" must be sought outside the two party system, (or possibly outside the country) which to me (and I believe many others) is broken beyond repair.

Either way I think the lesson is that the presidency is not the solution nor the problem that we need to be paying attention to, rather it is all the other stops along the way to that office, Congress, House, all of that needs greater attention and participation from the average voter, not just a few professional interested parties. Anything else and the American people are just cattle in a pen waiting to be slaughtered by whoever gets the most of someone else's votes.
