Anything that hints at socialism, or anything that requires the least tax increase is the work of the devil himself. People bitch and moan about how we should have things the way they are in Europe for certain things, particularly health care and uni. Then when the time comes to vote for it, people get scared shitless that the red menace is coming for us, since *surprise* things like national healthcare programs cost money.

Also, if you actually thought Obama could follow through on any of his promises without fail, you're an idiot. As has been mentioned, Obama has no power himself to effect changes as he promised. Just like every presidential candidate for the past several decades, he's made promises he couldn't keep. For whatever reason, you lot lapped it up, again.
