He said he would work to get a health car bill. It is in progress, but may have died last night with Browns win.

He said he would pull us out of Iraq and refocus on Afghanistan. He is doing just that.

He said he would spend a ton of money on a stimulus plan. He did that.

He said he would raise taxes on the rich to pay for all of this. While some of this hasn't happened yet, it is in the works.

Sure, he has fallen short on many of his promises, one of the main ones being transparency, but he has started to deliver on what he said he would and he is still in his first year. It almost seems to me like a lot of people weren't listening to him when he ran. Also, I think expectations for him were/are so high that when things didn't change within a few months of his getting in office people already started feeling let down.
