The same could have been said about Obama in 08.

This is a good point. The way the federal government maintains control is by making everyone dependent on it. It takes money away from everyone then gives it back. Those who resist it get their money taken away.
Though Carl's point about changing the system is still better than trying to do it through the presidency. One man is a lot weaker than many small local wars.
More and more states are becoming well aware that the federal gravy train is about to end and when it does, the only option left is totalitarian control imposed upon us through them. What I propose is to lobby the states and point out to them that they do have an alternate option, one that would make them the champions of liberty against a run amok central government.
