He campaigned on more troops in Afghanistan. He promised to send more troops. Two years ago he said this, and repeated it steadily throughout the campaign. He said it in debates with John McCain. He said it in speeches across the country. Many, many times.
You might disagree with the policy, as I do (though I otherwise support him), but you can't act like he's reneging on promises and use his campaign slogan against him. This was no bait-and-switch----this was a promise kept.”

“The "no-bailout" idea is good, but not good enough.
I hate the money spent on bailing out these soulless leaches. I don't want it to happen again, either.

I want them to be regulated going forward to protect investors rather than let them sink folks like me while the nation collectively shrugs.”

He was a criminal first, and a human last. Criminals go to jail.
(BTW, you make it sound like robbing a bank is a reasonable choice for someone to make. Did you mean to?)”
