Well, guess some folks can name some promises he has broken...
Obama’s Top Five Broken Promises « FOX Forum « FOXNews.com
Obama racks up list of broken promises
Obama’s Broken Promises at One Month (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/805 - broken link)

Of course, people will say it's the websites and facts are not true.
Ho Hum. Fact of the matter - no President will ever keep all his campaign promises (hey, I didn't vote for Obama, don't like his spending policies, but do try to be fair).

These people claim to be keeping a scorecard of Obama's promises. You can go to the website to read about each PolitiFact | The Obameter: Tracking Barack Obama's Campaign Promises:

I guess i'm the only person that recall the last debate between McCain and Obama. The moderator ask the question "with the state of the country, the economy, the mortgage and auto collapse, will every they be able to keep all campaign promises, which promise will need to be delayed"..

I believe both candidate answered the question as honestly as they could. Both stated that some of their promises will take longer, concessions will need to be made, but the most important thing is to get the economy moving and getting affordable health care for everyone.

Everyone keeps harping on broken campaign promises, go back to the debates and listen to the actual question on the many promises that were made and how they were going to make good on them...but then again at this point it really doesn't matter its better to just go with the easy answer.

Trying being the direct decendent of a slave and spend 72 years picking cotton in the segregated south and see how your perception changes.

Savior? Who said anything about BHO being a savior besides right wing blowhards? And no one is perfect, not even a politician.
