Yeah I don't remember him promising those things.  I mean not that it matters.  The President does not have the power to do those things without Congress.

Which is sad seeing as how his party is ascendant. Even when divided something good should have been accomplished.

You gotta respect the guy. He pretty much fucked everybody over: the public option, repealing of Don't Ask Don't Tell, Defense of Marriage Act, ending the war in Iraq and/or Afghanistan etc. - he went back on everything.
You gotta admit there's a huge giveaway to hospitals, doctors, and the insurance industry, though.  That's gotta be good for America.
