To add onto what Dan and Crazy were saying, you have to realize that most of Obama's term he was going against a Republican house who on multiple occasions blatantly said their primary objective was to be sure Obama did not get elected. How do you think they accomplish that? By swatting down everything he wanted to do.
He was a first term president seeking a second term. He had the forethought to realize certain things were better to put off for a second term where presidents can put their agendas into overdrive since they no longer have to worry about re-election and can adopt an "I don't give a pineapple" attitude. We'll see him more aggressively pursue his primary objective in a second term than the first because his chance of success increases significantly.
Romney is to back-and-forth on his primary objectives and his sole message can basically be summed up as, "I was successful in business, therefore I'll be successful as president." His tax plan is poorly thought out and criticized by most economist, his foreign policy stance has changed since the primaries, and his stance on civil liberties is a joke at best. I can't even fathom the thought process that goes into voting for a man who basically dismisses half of the country as lazy and incompetent simply because they aren't "successful" financially.
