Ronald Reagan really stirred the hopes of social conservatives, who expected him to lead the charge to outlaw abortion, allow creationism into the public schools, banish sex from television, and a whole host of other stuff. But Reagan was busy with other things, such as wrecking the environment and shredding the constitution, and he was a big disappointment to the relcons (religious conservatives), who came to regard him as something of a Trojan horse

No president of either party is going to meet the expectations of everyone who voted for him or her. I would say Obama has accomplished more than I expected, and less than I hoped. The hatred and shockingly un-American opposition he faces from Congress is horrifying.
