Speaking for myself - I had that hope when he took office. I sincerely thought he meant what he said. After four years of realizing the horrible mistake I made in trusting him and his cronies, I am loathe to trust him again.
I mean I believed him when he said he would never go to war unless America was in direct and immediate danger of attack, but I know know that he knew damn well that Iraq was no such thing and was hell bent on going there anyway and now 1,000's of U.S. soldiers are dead.
I believed him when he said gay people have the right to coexist - then he comes out with the Const. ban of not only gay marriage but any form of civil unions because gay people are "sinners."
I believed him when he said the tax cuts would work and he would curtail Federal spending (they must go habd in hand). Now he has outspent on borrowed money any Democrat ever in the history of Democrats.
and the list goes on and on with things like healthcare, the environment, etc.
So, I, and I imagine others, are once bitten twice shy.
But, you are correct - I wish he would do the right thing and forget about his agenda of theocratic conservatism and realize his former policies have failed
