It is like I'm watching 2 different people. For me. My humble opinion he campaigned as a lib who was REALLY going to change things. Too me he has compromised and water down a lot of things.

Yes, I do realize he has DONE a LOT OF GOOD as well but to me the compromised has kept his first term from being GREAT.

And really I know I will probably be flamed and called a troll. I am just being honest. To a lot of us who will for him in Nov we are basically picking or voting for the lesser of 2 evils.

If he had that passion once before he needs to recapture that.

He needs to hold bankers accountable.

His program designed to help homeowners was a failure.
