One question-
What in Obama’s history gives you reason to trust him on any of his promises?

Politicians, after all, are one step below used car salesmen in the honesty scale. What, in his history (not just rhetoric) gives you any reason to believe anytinthing he promises? At that, how much in his history shows his promises are lies (tax increase cut-off at $250k for example- his history shows he voted for increases for folks over $40k- his actions show his rhetoric is a lie)..

Nothing. In fact, his reversal on filibustering telecom immunity during the FISA vote almost turned me against him. That being said, I don't trust McCain, Bush, Pelosi, Reid, or Ron Paul, either, so all I have to go on is what they say. In any case, if he breaks bad, I'll do my best to ruin him in 2012.

The hyperbole about how bad he is going to be is ridiculous, though; he is extremely moderate.
