100% this. He let everyone down, and "at least he achieved something" is a piss-poor substitute for what he could have done: changed the face of America, as he promised to do, forever.
There is only one President who could ever change the face of America, and that is the one who finally stands up and finally tells it how it is with regards to gun culture. Unfortunately, he will not get the backing votes from either the Senate, the republicans, the yakuza, the Chinese, the Mexican gangs and the bloods/crips and other offshoots.
