UNLESS i AM MISTAKEN THE PATRIOT ACT HAS BEEN REVISED/REFORMED BY CONGRESS ON THIS PRESIDENTS WATCH...AS WELL AS DURING THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION BY CONGRESS AND PARTS WERE KNOCKED DOWN BY THE SUPREME COURT. IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR HIM TO REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT...HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO AND THE CONGRESS WILL PROBABLY NEVER REPEAL IT.

2. He made good sense to me during the campaign when he said we should reach out and talk to our enemies and that it didn't do any good to isolate them and not talk to them. He never did that either.

I MAY BE MISTAKEN BUT I THINK HILLARY CLINTON...WHO IS THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY OF STATE...HAS REACHED OUT TO OUR ENEMIES.

3. The deficit. He railed against it during the campaign. Even called Bush "unpatriotic" Then he took office and raised it faster.

HE CERTAINLY DID BOTH THINGS.

4. He promised to have the entire process of enacting "health care" televised so the public (all of us) could see. Instead he immediately met behind closed doors with the big pharmaceutical companies and cut a deal to keep the U.S. paying the highest prices in the world for medications.

HE DID NOT SEE THAT IT WAS TELEVISED. I DO NOT KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE CUT ANY DEALS WITH THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO KEEP PRICES HIGH...BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HE MET WITH A FEW CEO'S.

5. Railed against the banks during the campaign...then filled his cabinet with Goldman Sachs officials.

WHO ARE THE OFFICIALS IN HIS CABINET FROM GOLDMAN SACHS?

6. Promised to "fix" Washington and end the era of lobbyists. Then immediately reversed that as soon as he took office and there are now more lobbyists than ever before.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE MORE LOBBYISTS THAN EVER BEFORE BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE SOME FORMER LOBBYISTS WORKING FOR THE ADMINISTRATION.

I'm pissed at a bunch of other stuff as well. But those were the ones that I voted for and got screwed on.
