he hasn't ruined anything any more than some of his predecessors. but i do feel he could've gotten more done in his first two years when he actually had both houses of congress. but no, he had to stick with one his stupid campaign red lines about not signing a bill into law unless one republican signs on to it as well. and that's the reason we got a screwed up health care law. he should've put single-payer or the public option into law. instead we got mandated health care. and on top of that, penalties up to $695 or more if we don't have insurance. and the shit ain't even as affordable as he claims. at least for the middle class that is.
and another thing, in his first two years before the republicans took over congress, he could've gotten a jobs bill, infrastrucure bill, cut defense and pentagon spending so these gotdamn wars wouldn't keep continuing. i swear, as time goes by, with our drone policies and meddling into other countries, america is making the world more unsafe.
i guess you can say, i had more hope for the obama years than obama himself could give to us. i really expected better from him. and now, i'm more leary of politicians than i ever was.
