Bashing Obama for not fulfilling all of his campaign promises is like bashing the clean-up hitter for not driving the winning runs. Yeah, it's his job to drive in runs, but there's a guy on the pitchers mound doing everything he can to prevent the slugger from getting good wood on the ball. Sometimes he strikes out, sometimes he has to settle for a walk, and sometimes he wins the game.
There have been a substantial number of Republicans who have openly campaigned for Obama's failure. They used every trick available to them to keep legislation from getting through. Obama also faced a considerable amount of NIMBY when he tried to find alternative locations for GITMO. Don't you think it would be wasting time to propose the Employee Free Choice act when so many new members of the house are there courtesy of the Koch brothers, et al.? Ya can't snap your fingers and fulfill campaign promises.
