Actually, except in a few specific cases Obama didn't mislead his electorate at all and if you were prepared to listen to what he actually said it was easy to get a real measure of his (lack of) ambition.

Unfortunately, most of the progressive community bought into the Hope and the Change and never read the fine print.

(oh no, now what?)

Politicians should be required to put their promises on paper and sign them. For an example, Obama pledging to close GitMo. After 2 years in office, if he fails in ANY of his pledges, he's legally executed in public along with his entire family and all people in his country club(s). If politicians knew this was the rule going in, they would be less likely to try to use abject lies to get in office. As it is, they have absolutely no skin in the game. Big mistake.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
