After only two months in office, President Obama may have fallen short on a number of his campaign promises.
As a candidate, he promised to allow public comment before signing bills, eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses, provide tax credits to businesses for hiring new employees, allow Americans to withdraw funds from 401(k) and retirement accounts without penalties, ban lobbyists from serving in his administration, reform earmarks, bring all combat troops home from Iraq in 16 months, sign the "Freedom of Choice Act," give Americans $4,000 in credits for college and run a "transparent" administration.
However, after giving his word to the American people on so many issues, Obama has yet to fulfill many commitments.
Broken promise No. 1: 'Sunlight Before Signing'
Broken promise No. 2: Capital gains tax elimination
Broken promise No. 3: New American jobs tax credit
Broken promise No. 4: Hiatus on 401(k) penalties
Broken promise No. 5: 'No jobs for lobbyists'
Broken promise No. 6: Earmark reform
Broken promise No. 7: Bring troops home in 16 months
Broken promise No. 8: Sign 'Freedom of Choice Act'
Broken promise No. 9: $4,000 college credit
Broken promise No. 10: Transparency

There is bound to be more broken promises than that by Obama. Obama can not speak without a teleprompter, how can he ever tell the truth?
some of those promises are best kept as broken.
We knew it, we tried to tell people, but they thought he was the next coming, so let’s see what his loyal followers do about him now!
The False Prophet is never about promises. Its about making people feel good about themselves.
Anyway I hope the False Prophet doesn’t keep his promise to sign the Freedom of Killing Act.
Where are the puppies and rainbows I was promised?
Where are my Unicorns crapping Skittles?
I WANT MY PIE, DAMMIT!!
I was promised free gas, free mortgages, and that I wouldn’t have to work!!
I WANT IT NOW, OBAMA!!!
I hate to disagree but it always is.
Still waiting for my purple unicorn that sh*ts skittles...
I have the hay, and the water trough is full.
I used to like skittles ............
“There is bound to be more broken promises than that by Obama. Obama can not speak without a teleprompter, how can he ever tell the truth?”
I wonder if his teleprompter ‘thoughts’ should be/are archived much the same as any other communications are required to be?
Thank goodness for small favors. Most of those promises are horrible.
4 years to go...
She’s dead wrong on number 8. He’ll sign it gleefully the moment it passes. The man loves to terminate human life.
We knew it, we tried to tell people, but they thought he was the next coming, so let’s see what his loyal followers do about him now!
The silence is deafening, the bumper stickers are gone, the W bashers are hanging there heads. Reality has sunk in as they are getting their 401K statements and pink slips as they see Congress spending like there is no tommorrow.
