He didn't know any of this while he was campaigning for president, making all the promises, and despite being a law professor?
You're certainly cutting the man a lot of slack!
I cut President Obama some slack here because he clearly wasn't privy to any of the daily security briefs former Pres. G. W. Bush received until he became President. Making campaign promises is fine while out on the stump; keeping them is different. Some promise Obama has been able to made good on; others aren't as easy as I'm sure he thought they would be. But until folks start really digging into the public records or reading more info about such things instead of relying on the day-to-day media snippets which don't always tell the full story on certain matters, you'll only rely on your partisan point of view.
Reading...it's fundamental.
