ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance Didn't Obama say he was shocked how little power the President really has? Right afterwards he probably thought to himself, "I gotta do something about that." quote:
I don't think he failed, as President, to fulfill the idealistic promises he made. I think he learned, once in office, that those with power don't want to work to "empower" the people. I do believe he genuinely hoped to. His first campaign was full of empty rhetoric. He got a pass in 2008, but, in 2012, the media went after Romney for his campaign being light on specifics. Understand, though, that failing to fulfill the idealistic promises he made (which he did fail to do on most) is completely different than lying about what he was going to do.
