You can google it if you really want to look it up. I don't think you will. It's not mine and I don't pretend it to be.

Hmmm...Just like me, no attribution, no link, no indication that you were using another's work.
I never claimed the stuff I stole as my own, either. Just did what you did; didn't give proper attribution, cite, or link.
As for Obama's kept promises; none of them are the major ones upon which he campaigned. However, many of the unkept and stalled ones are.

Just did what you did; didn't give proper attribution, cite, or link.Not at all, I didn't edit it to make it look like I wrote it at all -- which you do all the time in a vain atempt to make yourself look smarter than you are. Indeed I intentionally left out a link because I expected you would start whining about this and act like my wind up toy.
Which of course you did. :lol

Can someone name me one campaign promise this guy has kept? If you want to be a little bitch about it and try to move the goalposts after getting your ass handed to you on a plate once again, I am not surprised at that either.

Who's being a fucking tool...er, toy? Intentionally posting traps? Wow, you really need a life.

You're right. I should have listed the promises to which I was referring. I didn't know there was a website keeping track of over 600 of them. You know, if you make enough promises, you're bound to accidentally keep a few of them.
Out of over 600 they're tracking, he's kept 32? What are the percentages on that? About 5%, I think. Considering he's falling in the polls and losing political capital along the way, I don't see him accomplishing much more than that.

You're right. I should have listed the promises to which I was referring.You were referring to any promise. That means any promise. If you are saying you shouldn't have been such a dumbass, I agree.

Considering he's falling in the polls and losing political capital along the way, I don't see him accomplishing much more than that.Considering he's at about the same position in the polls as Bush was at this time in his first term and with more of his party in congress than Bush, I see him accomplishing more than that.

Gracious as always. What part of "you're right," didn't you understand? I agreed...as posed, I was bound to have been proven wrong. I am certain he's been able to keep some promises.

Trajectories are different. Bush was rising in the polls, Obama...eh, not so much.
I think by the time they've completely screwed themselves with Cap and Tax and this Obamacare, Democrats will be lucky to hold either side of Congress Next November.

Okay, Stuart Smalley. I'm glad you're finally right about something. Wear it out...it's one of the few times.
Bush's approval rating was falling in the polls and his disapproval rating was rising.
We'll see how it all turns out; won't we?
So they have over a year to pass some more legislation.
We'll see how that works out for them once they go on recess at the end of the month and have their asses handed to them by constituents.

We'll see how it all turns out; won't we?Sure.
We'll see how that works out for them once they go on recess at the end of the month and have their asses handed to them by constituents.I don't think they are as rabidly against their policies as you would think. Much of the time people say they hate congress but think their own representatives and senators are doing a good job.
