I'll see your debate lies Top Five Obama Debate Lies

and raise you four years of broken promises:

Top 10 Broken Promises

1. Create a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners

Obama created a fund, but it failed to meet its own benchmarks for helping homeowners. A special inspector general deemed the program "a colossal failure."

2. Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes

In 2010, Obama agreed to a deal with Republicans to extend the current tax rates for another two years. He will get another shot at keeping this promise if he wins re-election.

3. Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center

Obama has consistently said he wants the facility closed, but he hasn’t found a way to get Congress to agree. Guantanamo Bay remains open.

4. Create cap and trade system with interim goals to reduce global warming

A bill for cap-and-trade passed the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009, but the Senate wouldn’t bite. Now Republicans control Congress, and it’s considered dead.

5. Sign the Employee Free Choice Act, making it easier for workers to unionize

This didn’t get done when Democrats controlled Congress, and now it looks as if it won’t get done at all, thanks to Republican opposition.

6. Allow imported prescription drugs

The White House dropped this pledge as it lured drug makers to get on board with the president’s health care law. The promise hasn’t been heard from since.

7. Sign the Freedom of Choice Act

Candidate Obama said one of the first things he wanted to do was sign abortion rights legislation. President Obama said he had other priorities and wanted to tamp down anger surrounding the issue.

8. Create a public option health plan for a new National Health Insurance Exchange

Congress rejected the idea for a public health insurance option open to everyone. Obama downplayed the fact that it was left out of the final version of the health care law.

9. Introduce a comprehensive immigration bill in the first year

Obama said he would introduce legislation that included a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. But other priorities -- health care and financial regulation -- seemed to run out the clock.

10. Bring Democrats and Republicans together to pass an agenda

On matters large and small, partisanship is worse than ever.

Of course it is irrelevant. It is only important to call out one side for their inaccurate statements.

Lord knows it is even worse to call out the president for his failed record and broken promises.

Nobody ever claimed Obama was 100% truthful in the debate.

You acted as if only Romney had inaccuracies.

I'm just amazed that he managed to stay awake.

Neal Boortz and Eric Erickson are tolerable (until they bring in religion) and Shawn Hannity just puts me to sleep, so I had no problem with the old line up. Does anyone know what happened to Michael Savage? He used to be on couple of years ago.

Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, is quite ignorant of the world on top of being an absolute nutter. Saying Hindu's bombed Pearl Harbour and not being able to identify an Australian from a Briton, just to name a few. The most ludicrous claim was that the NHS segment at the opening ceremony was a plot to support Obama.

Rush Limbaugh Cracks Up and Claims the Olympic Opening Ceremony Was an Obama Conspiracy

I am glad that I retained my other citizenship's, once I "became" an American. I have just never lived in a country so divided on political lines before.

When has Niel Bortz ever talked about religion? He is the most libertarian of bunch and actually supports gay rights.
