Not to mention, from what I have heard and seen, the healthcare bill is really watered-down and not nearly as strong as it was intended to be (and needs to be).

Well, I'm not saying he was intending to be super super left. More so, he gave the impression that he was a very strong, directioned president who intended to see his vision through. What we got is the world's ultimate compromiser, and a guy who pretty much backed down from a the promises he made.
I mean, has he even closed Guantanamo bay yet? I mean, it was supposed to be the very first thing he was doing. if hasn't done that even yet, what has he done?
