To be honest, as a cynic, I never really believed a lot of things he was promising (I really never believe most of what any politician says) but even I was surprised by how few of his promises he kept - especially things that were so important to me like to keep so many of the disgusting policies that Bush put through: Guantanamo, eavesdropping, busting people for medical marijuana. Those things bitterly disappointed me among others. I was glad that he managed to get a health care bill through as watered- down as it was. I think that will be one thing that he is going to be remembered for. I still support him but it pisses me off when I think about it. I can see why a lot of people could be disillusioned. To not vote, though, is a cop-out.
