I remember this as well, and it was even a big thing (for a short while) after he got elected. For the first couple of weeks into his presidency there was a deluge of news articles almost every single day of things he said he was going to do, like ending wars in the Middle East. I remember one article was about him saying he was going to close Guantanamo Bay, and all the libs in the comments were like "Damn, this guy is on a roll! He going to fix all of Bush' mistakes and restore America's reputation! Good job, Obama!". And then of course none of those things actually happened, and libs went back to sleep. It was around that time when my radicalization process began.

Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay, good cop bad cop is the role-play / Those are real men don't forget / Locked up no charge four years and counting / And the pressure ain't really mounting / cause you media bods wanna keep your jobs / and you radio knobs wanna keep your jobs / And the good DJ's get nighttime slots / it's a load of crap, like planes made them two towers collapse / Like that? straight down? You're mad! / When we're old and grey kids'll be like "Mum! Dad! / surely Bush and Co were the enemy?" / Same way no one believes these days Oswald killed Kennedy / Change foreign policy the remedy / This was a war about energy supply / "It weren't about terror" that's a goddamn lie / And it's even been proved that our leader's lied / And the war on terror's racism in disguise / And we still don't vote when foreigners die.
