I think the big reason why people aren't impressed with Obama so far is that he was seemingly promising everything without actually saying what that "everything" was.

You do have to realize what he stepped into, with the war etc. I'm not putting everything on that, obviously.

But realistically - what has he done wrong? Tried to appease the Republicans? Wanted to improve healthcare?

He's trying to be so damn accommodating to the Republicans that nothing is really getting done, and nothing will likely get done in the forseeable future. He's been trying to play it directly down the middle as the catalyst in what will make Democrats and Republicans get along, but in the end he's just completely decimating the Democrats, and playing right into what the Republicans want.

Personally, I think he needs to suck it up, grow some balls and not be so afraid of backlash on things that would improve your country.


Edit: And short answer, no. I don't think anything is even close to fascist. I don't even think that's worth talking about or mentioning.

Double Edit: If you really want to talk about 'fascism', take a look at what's going on in the Canadian Government right now, and then what Obama's apparently doing will look like absolutely nothing.
