Honestly he has not lived up to my expectations. I also think that he was as surprised as anyone else when he got the Democratic nomination. At that time it looked like a slam-dunk for Hillary.
But I still consider Obama to be FAR better than the alternative offered by the GOP. I shudder to think where we would be now of McCain / Palin had been elected.

What, exactly, would McCain and Palin have done that would have been so awful?

More employment and less deficits?
A destroyed economy, ramped unemployment, war with "bomb, bomb Iran" and spending at proportions so unbelievable words wouldn't be able to describe it,..
We Bush supporters from 2000 have long admitted that we were wrong about Bush.
Why can't former Obama supporters do the same thing?

BS. I voted for Obama in 2008 and was among his biggest supporters on this board.
It's now obvious to me he lied during his campaign..as he has continued many of Bush's policies. There's been no "hope and change" ..more like "bait and switch"..
Obama is a warmonger and a drug warrior. Next year, I won't be making the same mistake I made in 2008..

LOL! Have you forgotten "The fundamentals of our economy are sound?" How about 'we have to interrupt this campaign to return to DC to vote on the bailout?' McCain did not and does not have a clue about the economy. Republicans run up debt like there is no tomorrow. There is no doubt in my mind that as bad as things are, they would be worse, far worse than if GOP were POTUS.
And McCain would not have done squat about healthcare, leaving many of us who are self-employed and running small businesses in the position of subsidizing big business. Face it, McCain is and was a corporate stooge like most Republicans. NO THANKS.
And have you considered the possibility that Caribou Barbie being POTUS if McCain had passed away in office?

Kudos to you for realizing and admitting he's a complete and utter failure. Not many are willing to do so.

You are a brave person as most people who would admit being wrong about the King would be shunned by their progressive friends and families.
