The election for president occurred during the democrats primaries. It was never going to be McCain.

Obama kept his promises. He told everyone, "I'm a socialist." No one listened. We all knew they were going to take a run at universal health with a democrat controlled house and senate. Even with that mandate, they had to squeak it through. His problem was the economy. At a time that the economy needed all the attention, it was health that they were crafting and selling.

I maintain that he never intended to actually BE president. His senate career was "seat filler"-he crafted one piece of legislation that did nothing. He was a "community organizer" whatever that means. I think he initiated a presidential run to create a larger profile for himself. The problem was, he took off.

And honestly, if someone says to you, "you could be president", are you going to say, "shit man, I just wanted to pimp a few more books"
