A Complete Waste of Space

I´m not sure if many of the people who elected him are (still) fans of him. He was seen as a chance to go into a different direction after the pretty bad bush years. He didn´t follow through on his promises and sucks just l8ike most other high politicians. You can´t do much against all the lobbyists...
