Seems like a lot of those "promises" have pretty much disappeared. It isn't like he doesn't have the time to devote to these issues, he certainly has time to tweet and go around on thank you tours.
You might consider waiting for him to take office first.

You always know Democrats have lost the debate when they start citing Reagan.

Well, you can thank both Obama and Bill Clinton for those "good ole days."

Bill's HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo ordered Fannie and Freddy to buy $2.4 trillion in sub-prime loans over a ten year period starting in 1999. (HUD Press Release, HUD No. 99-131, July 29, 1999)

Bill also signed the repeal of the Glass-Steagle Act, thereby deregulating the big banks.

And Obama worked for ACORN, which threatened to sue banks for being "racist" if they didn't give mortgages to people who couldn't pay the money back.

It might be news to you, but Russia hasn't been communist since 1991.

That's because most of them WERE communists.

Romney said on the campaign trail back in 2012 that Russia is our biggest threat and he was nearly laughed off the stage and comments were made such as "hey Romney the 80's called and they want their foreign policy back"...

So what has changed? I guess Romney was right and Obama is finally realizing it. A little late to the party "O".

Obama drew a red line in the sand in Syria and when Russia walked right over it nothing happened. Maybe Trump is smart and he plans to "keep his friends close and his enemies closer"?

Reagan has been rolling for the last 8 years from the moment Obama started his world apology tour to his illegal executive orders, to his giving voice to terrorist groups like black lives matter and inviting them to the WH to this point where he is trying to pass the blame to Russia hacking as to why Hillary lost. Could it be the failed democratic policies of the last 8 years??

Wrong.

Russia was our ally in WW I.

And it was our ally in WW II.

It also sold us Alaska.

I remember driving down entire streets where the grass was high and half the homes were vacated by the people who lost them. Today, those homes are selling like hot cakes again, thanks to Obama.

But, in your alternative world, that never happened.
Obama, Bill Clinton and the Democrats caused the housing crisis.

Bill's HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo ordered Fannie and Freddy to buy $2.4 trillion in sub-prime loans over a ten year period starting in 1999. (HUD Press Release, HUD No. 99-131, July 29, 1999)

And Obama worked for ACORN, which threatened to sue banks for "racism" if they didn't make home loans to people who couldn't pay the money back.

When Bush tried to rein in Fannie and Freddy, Democrats like Maxine Waters screamed that Republicans were "attacking poor people."

Obama's buddy Franklin Raines was in charge of Fannie at the time, and walked away with a cool $90 million as Fannie and Freddy collapsed into insolvency -- to be bailed out later by the taxpayers.

Electing Obama to "solve" the housing crisis was like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

The only "solution" that took place was that millions of people lost equity in their homes while the Fed plunged us deeper into debt to bail out the GSEs.

Well it looks like he's off to a great start

Trump pulls the rug out!

Obama is Crushed After Trump Orders the White House To Stop His Sickest Tradition and you see why…

Obama was seen storming away from the West Wing after staffers from Donald Trump’s transition team began preparing the Executive offices for the new administration. On Trump’s orders, one of Obama’s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all signs of it removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

For the past 7 years, to appease any Muslims working at or visiting the White House, silence has been ordered during the five times of Islamic prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make Muslims more comfortable.

The administration has defended the practice by asserting that it also observes several other religious moments of silence and prayer out of respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity on Sunday morning while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast. None of the prayer is mandatory or led by a government official, which has allowed the administration to subvert 1st Amendment issues, but the obvious favoritism towards Islam, which is observed for 25 minutes per day seven days a week, tells a story this president has denied for eight years.
President-Elect Trump, who acknowledges that this country was founded by Christians and was built on Christian morals, is having all pagan symbols removed from the property unless they offer some historical significance. Only the cross in the White House chapel will remain for worship. Jim Mergernerlerny, head of the team that will transform the White House from the Obama’s home to the Trump’s second home, told MSNBC:

“Mr. Trump doesn’t see the need to provide prayer rugs and false idols is a house built by Christians. Washington DC offers a diverse cultural center for worship of any kind. You won’t find any special considerations for Judaism or crucifixes to appease Catholics, either. There is a simple chapel with a single cross on one wall that is suitable for prayer by anyone. Our government doesn’t need to be forcing prayer rituals down people’s throats just so we don’t ‘offend’ people looking to blow us up.”

Patriots around the US can rest assured that the era of apologizing for our faith has come to an end.
