as far as I'm concerned those are the promises I was concerned about and he hasn't delivered.

I dont know many supporters who thought the national security program he campaigned on, as opposed to domestic programs, was the most important component of his agenda. In fact, many supported him in spite of his proposed national security policies. Her certainly did not promise to get out of Afghanistan or repeal the Patriot Act.
It is also naive to think that the Executive Branch can accomplish significant reforms or significant new policy initiatives on its own. Even with a Democratic majority in Congress, one would have to be blind to not see the obstructions and delays that have come into play in the legislative process.
