Oh really? You mean like Closing Gitmo immediately? No... Hmmmm Ending the war in Iraq immediately? No... Hmmmmmm An open and transparent administration? No... Hmmmmmm Holding public hearings and including everything on CSPAN? No... Hmmmmmm Posting complete bill on the internet for 5 days before signing them into law? No... Hmmmmmm. I can keep going if you would like. He made over 500 promises. He's made good on about 35. That would make about 90% he's followed through on, right, Lpdon?

no new taxes... remember that one? every prez says what we wanna hear, it's his (or hers) job to get elected, no matter what. obama is an elegant statesman, has great speech writers, and is very intelligent. but no prez can keep the promises they make, because they never have any intention of keeping them. obama is gonna be busy cleaning up bushes mess for a while, so even if he wanted to keep any of the pre elect promises that he made, he won't be able to. actually, many of his 'promises' have happened Oh really?

I can keep going if you would like. No you can't those are all the selling points of rightwing hate sites. Not all of them are accurate but they are what the right wing is holding onto.

Considering that the economic advisers told him that he needs to flood the system with money and not worry about the deficit, that is what was needed. Just like when we go into debt for our homes. That debt will pay us back in the long run. So will the money spent during this recession.

That would make about 90% he's followed through on, right, Lpdon? he has made good on about 117 in approximately 16 months,,,,,so,,, continuing at that rate,,,he should near 351 out of 500,,but I suspect it will be closer to about 400 considering the healthcare issue held things up for several months,,, but we have 2/3 more of his term to make a final assessment

The list is not his words. They take partial bits of the speech, not using the whole information on the half truth ones and they just plain lie on others. I cannot find those blatant propaganda crap entertaining but if you can good for you?:

I need to sit down from the shock. Of those approximate 35, possibly 98% were self and Special Interest serving, leaving present and future tax-payers a hefty bill.
