Off topic.

Typical, 0bama's broken promises, and the subject turns to Bush. Mean old Bush made 0bama speak and brake all those promises.

Since they were campaign promises, most were made before the financial crisis crashed down.

But he's trying to fulfill them even with this handicap. I think that's pretty admirable frankly.

Do you think if McCain was elected, that all would be fixed right now? Maybe the 'mad winker' would have sold us to Russia for two bits, or maybe she would have acquired them as another state and then our federal funds would go to them too. Face it, no matter who was elected, it was and still will be a long road to recovery. At least I don't have to see the STUPID winking and clicking on a regular basis.

LOL Very, very few of any of his broken promises have anything to do with the economy. I'll quote my previous post:

Read the thread title.

This is not about whether or not the president is fixing things, its about breaking promises, sometimes breaking his own executive orders, even as he was signing them.

Anything would be better than this socialist we have in office right now. Our eyes are opening that this guy has the power and intentions to destroy life as we knew it in the US..

Um, just about every one of them depended on a healthy economy (or what was passing for one in 2008) maintaining.

Although I would agree that McCain is also a progressive and spender, this is off topic. Why are so many people trying to change the topic? By the way, it's very mean to make fun of someone's ticks that they have due to war wounds gotten while serving.
