I think he's been caught in a crappy area of in between being political and doing what he wants to do. I've not been happy with it either. But I'm nowhere near as unhappy with it as I was with the purely political and purely self serving and purely deceptive 8 years that went on before that. I've been disappointed that he hasn't stuck to his guns, but I at least like that I still feel like he deep down wants to stick to his guns, even though he hasn't. I think he's done some things that have stuck to his guns, but not as much as what everyone was hoping for that voted for him, so he's gotten a lot of flack from the left. The reality is that it's a first term, and I'm sure he's under a ton of pressure from his people to try to hit a middle ground in order to insure a second term. My hope is that if he gets a second term, he'll finally go full bore on what he believes. Either way, I'd rather have a guy that believes in something good get runover a bit, as opposed to someone that believes in a bunch of sh**y stuff getting his way. Fingers crossed on him getting his balls once he gets into his second term (which I'd worry about if the other team didn't have such crappy players). I still believe that he's got the stuff deep down, he just needs to find it and stop worrying about what everyone around him thinks.
