Until he pisses off liberals it doesn’t matter. Conservatives are along for the ride..
He is ticking off liberals.
Homosexuals in the Democrat Party know that his promises to them are worthless. He said that he would end DOMA and DADT, then his DOJ asked the judge to throw out the lawsuit against DOMA. His DOJ compared homosexual marriage to incest. They know about this. They know that his excuse that he has too much on his plate right now is just an excuse.
Anti-war Democrats are ticked off at him, too. He has broken his promise to end indefinite detention. ID is going on at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and at Gitmo.
He has broken his promise to end warrantless wiretaps. He expanded the use of warrantless wiretaps.
They are angry at him for continuing to send more and more troops to Afghanistan.
They are angry that he is using signing statements when he promised to end them.
