One thing GW did in the first election, several promises that he just kept hammering. One of which was, 'No more nation building.' Well 9/11 changed that one, but other than a few isolationists, most seemed to be able to live with that. He promised tax cuts. He promised NCLB. That was pretty much it.

Let us not forget Carl Jung's words:
The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
And what Shakespeare said about expectations in All's Well that Ends Well:
Oft expectation fails, and most oft there Where most it promises; and oft it hits Where hope is coldest and despair most fits.
