I will agree with that. There's a lot of things he could have fought against, or fought harder against, and didn't choose to.
My big issue is that he was a "change" candidate, and the biggest offenses to citizen's civil liberties in a long time as well as the abhorrant POW camp Guantanamo were not solved. They stayed the same.
I don't like watching this slippery slope with our rights continue. That's why I try to make sure people realize, at least, what's happening so I don't have to say "I told you so" before they eventually strip that right too. People say that couldn't ever happen, but they are working their way up the chain of amendments they can ignore, for our safety, of course.
