I know exactly what I voted for him for. And he never did what he said:
1. Close Gitmo
2. Stop with the fearmongering and give us back some of our freedom
3. TALK to our enemies and not just our allies
4. The economy of course.

BTW since I was disagreeing with you elsewhere, I should say that I agree with the above, except for #4. I think #4 falls with Congress, Obama can't write legislation and pass it. The first three though are more in his area... he never did close Gitmo for whatever reason, after trying to at first. He backed the Patriot Act extension, and even was fine with indefinite detention of citizens accused of terrorist ties.... and that's NOT cool. And, we haven't done much talking to Iran that I can see, or NK.
But what are you going to do, "punish" Obama by supporting the side that never would have talked about doing those things in the FIRST place because they thought they were all bad ideas?
In this way, the Tea Party has the right approach. You don't punish your side in a general election... if they disappoint, the thing to do is get their asses in the primary.
