Anyone have, can point me to, or is keeping, a list of Obama's promises, complete with citations, dates, locations, etc?

Yes, I do plan on using it to ask my local Obama-ites, "What, you actually BELIEVED those promises"???

Health Care for every American that is good and as accessible as that to which the US Congress in entitled.

Do you mean to tell me Obama hasn’t even re-packaged himself as OBAMA-LITE?

Let’s see, he won’t “weaponize” space, he’ll close the GTMO detainee facility, he’ll cut funding for research in nuclear armaments, ... and I imagine he’ll ensure there is a chicken in every pot!

[TWohlford]

I mean, he’s already broken some key promises —

- Stay the course in Iraq
- More troops going to a war zone (Afghanistan)
- not closing Gitmo
- no windfall profit tax on oil companies
- no tax on the rich, at least for a while

[silverleaf]

No tax increases on anyone making less than $250,000 a year

He promised his wife he would quit smoking if she let him run for President.

I don’t mean to be a downer, but save yourself the trouble.

Once he breaks all of his promises, it will not be his fault. I can hear it now.....

“Things were is a much worse state because of the Bush presidency than even we could have imagined. We were forced to re-evaluate and change the plan of action. In other words, it’s Bush’s fault.”

[TWohlford]

“...In other words, it’s Bush’s fault.”

Worse yet, the GOP won’t be effective in making the case that if Obama didn’t know what he was getting himself into, he shouldn’t have been running.

Heck, if all of the stuff that Obama promised was easy, would we need a Dem messiah like him?

[TWohlford]

“Sen. Barack Obama said, if elected, he foresees eliminating the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” and passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, opposed by many faith-based groups that argue it would force them to accept homosexuals in leadership.”

What’s the point? ALL politicians lie. If a politician could be removed from office for being a liar this country would be in a constant state of elections. However, there should be accountability of a politician’s promises and it only takes one, their oath to uphold and defend our Constitution. Anything contrary to that, they should be removed immediately and lawfully charged accordingly, for what that’s worth. Pipe dream, I know.

Dude, google Obama promises...I only got 18,600,000 returns

Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism

And as president, “we’ll ensure that economic justice is served,” he asserted. “That’s what this election is about.” Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn’t have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.

It’s the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we’re launching this special educational series.

“Economic justice” simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It’s a euphemism for socialism.

Here's a private promise made to close friends of the Obama's (I bet):

ah.. ah.. umh.. a-a-nd I will fire Joseph Russoniello US Attorney Northern District of California to get Bernadine [Mrs. Bill Ayers, nee Dohrn] off the hook for that cop murder thing in San Francisco . . . .
