I remember this as well, and it was even a big thing (for a short while) after he got elected. For the first couple of weeks into his presidency there was a deluge of news articles almost every single day of things he said he was going to do, like ending wars in the Middle East. I remember one article was about him saying he was going to close Guantanamo Bay, and all the libs in the comments were like “Damn, this guy is on a roll! He going to fix all of Bush’ mistakes and restore America’s reputation! Good job, Obama!”. And then of course none of those things actually happened, and libs went back to sleep. It was around that time when my radicalization process began.
