I really had my doubts throughout his first term, but I wrote them off a lot of the time. He clearly wanted to implement far-left ideas for us, but it would take longer than four years, and needed to play nice to get the second term. He fought like hell at first for Obamacare... and then seemed to stop. The drone program was absolutely vile and I had no way to defend him, but I still hoped for the second term redemption, that he'd pull out all the stops.

Of course, I'm no longer hopeful either.
