Obama...
Yesh?
--Wheres the BIPARTISANSHIP you promised? One Republican voted for the Health Care bill. And in your first private meeting with Congressional Republicans, instead of reaching across the aisle, you said, "I won."
So, Republicans being assholes means Obama has failed?
--Where is our promised government transparency? The Healthcare bill is 1990 pages of legal jargon.
Without all that 'legal jargon', we'd have an infinite amount of loopholes. Sure, Joe Six-pack can't understand it. But that's why we have lawyers to reason it all out.
--Why isn't our deficit being cut in half like promised? Your first year adds $1.75 trillion, with trillions more through 2012.
Everything requires money. However, I do agree with you on this.
--Why didn't your $800 billion stimulus keep unemployment under 8.5% as was promised? Its now 10.2%
Yes, because Obama is some mystical being that knows exactly what the economy is going to do. It did help. It just wasn't the right course of action.
--Why didn't you publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for five days before the you sign it like you promised?
Who the fuck cares? Watch the news.
--Why didn't you recognize the Armenian Genocide, like you promised?
Don't have anything (witty) to say.
--Why didn't you stop the practice of "signing statements" like you promised?
See above.
--Why didn't you adopt a dog from the shelter like you promised? Instead you bought a purebred.
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE? For God's sake, it's a fucking dog; leave his personal life alone.
--Why didn't you stop Federal funding for religious organizations like you promised?
Probably a tiny thing called the Religious Right.
--Why didn't you stop CIA renditions like you promised?
No commento.
--Why didn't you give the $4000 credit for college tuition that you promised?
Because we're in a bad economy. Adding to the debt = bad.
--Where is your responsible government that you promised? Annette Nazareth, Nancy Killefer, Tim Geithne, and Tom Daschle who you nominated or appointed all had tax evasion issues.
No comment.
--Why didn't you stop the government fear tactics like you promised? You used them on the Swine Flu and the Stimulus Bill
Actually, the entire world believes Swine Flu is a pandemic. Popular opinion =/= fearmongering. No comment on the stimulus bill.
That's only some of your broken promises Obama.
Actually, looking at all the nitpicking you did I'd say it's all of them.
I'd dig up some of Bushs promises, but I don't feel like it, plus it would just continue the mudslinging.
