I always get "conservatives" asking me if I have buyer's remorse about voting for Obama, and the answer is absolutely NOT. He's done a lot of the things he's said he would do already, and is cranking down the list. You can't say you've broken campaign promises until he's out of office, be it in 4 years, or 8. Only then, can you go back, review the items he said he'd do, and THEN tell us whether or not he's accomplished them. I'd say the same for any President.

OK, pup -- please give us a rundown of his "broken promises" -- and, keep in mind mk's statement above:
"Funny thing is, Obama campaigned on MORE presence in Afghanistan, not pulling out, has put in a process to close GITMO and will soon pass HCR. Yet somehow Fox spins these as broken promises!"
Tick-tock . . .

Note to self: "FoxNews is just a Republican Cable Network 24/7".
They need as much drama as possible going into 2010.
"Some say" Obama is a total, miserable failure because we don't have the health care reform that all of us FOX News wingnuts have ferociously opposed. And I'm right, of course, because this FOX News anchor isn't challenging me, because I have the pretentious name "S.E.", and because I'm wearing serious glasses.
If Obama is "polarizing", it's because of a concerted effort from the Neanderthals to make him polarizing. They are manufacturing their own outrage.
True, President Obama hasn't delivered on everything he promised, but he didn't promise he'd do it the minute he walked into the oval office. We've got 7 years-plus left and what has been achieved so far is pretty cool.
He's just warming up.
That is coming from someone who does the same thing everytime you decide to speak your mind.
"As Obama removes our combat brigades from Iraq, he will send at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan, where the Taliban is resurgent. He will also provide our armed forces with the reset capability that they need. He will replace essential equipment, and he will ensure that our men and women in uniform get the care and support they have earned."
No change so far? Give us a rundown of what Obama is currently pushing through and what has been signed into law - recently even.
I'll refer you to Judy Miller's comments at this very website from Fox's Shammity show regarding Afghanistan.
I don't recall a promise that unemployment would stop at 8.5, but I am sure you're working on that exact quote, right?
Another wingnut, another failed attack.
If America was so guilt-ridden and obsessed with race and gender this last election, they should have voted for Cynthia McKinney. She would have had the entire previous administration behind bars by now and ALL our troops home.
He never said he wouldn't re-authorize the Patriot Act.
So what other lies you got? He's not a worse liar than Bush/Cheney, that's for certain.
You didn't refute the lobbyists, so that's another lie. Shall I mention FISA and warrantless wiretapping? How about "indefinite detention"? How about that 5 day review of bills by the public? NAFTA?
I voted for Bush in 2000. I was naive and ignorant. I regret my decision. I am not a Bushbot, however, who went into complete denial about how he started dismantling our Constitution and destroying our economy. Can you admit that we may have been wrong about Barack Obama?
I remember her being interviewed on C-Span. She said she currently lives in a very liberal community and is a conservative. She says she is an atheist. She said she thought GWB was a good PRESIDENT! She also says that since Bush talked to a higher power that made her safe to got to sleep at night, because she felt GWB kept the country safe!
WTF!!!!!
