Top 5 broken Obama promises
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 11:24 PM by Renew Deal
There were a lot of promises about Obama out there during the election. Obama has broken so many promises that I might have to really think about 2012.

1. Obama will put republicans into FEMA Camps. Word is that Obama will round up republicans and put them into FEMA camps. He's been in office for almost a year and this still hasn't happened. :argh:

2. Obama will turn freepers into soap. I looked at freeperville recently and there's no proof that this has been accomplished.

3. Obama will not give swine flu shots to republicans. Rumor has it that republicans have been given shots.

4. Obama will use the new continental superhighway that Bush built to create a North American Union. The highway is built, but we have not been united with our Mexican and Canadian comrades.

5. Obama will lead a new world order. Obama's wimpy attempts at ruling the world have simply fallen flat. His tyranny was mistaken for pacifism and he was given a peace prize. OMG

1. He also told me that everything he wanted to do would get done at once.
He told me that the status quo would just roll over and allow things like healthcare reform without a fight--that's why Truman and Clinton were so successful in their endeavors. Anything in increments is a failure and Obama should commit ritual seppuku.

5. No it's not a joke.
Obama promised to put republicans in FEMA concentration camps and it hasn't happened. Glenn Beck told me this and I feel betrayed!

And I could have all of their guns! Fuck me. I was really looking forward to all the new guns! Sombitch does not keep his promesis. And all the cool cars after the rapture. I was looking forward to a new Ferrari! Where is my Ferrari?

You want a pony? Fine! I want about 1,000 pony's in my new Ferrari that I still don't have from Obama.

3. Oh my! Unrecommends! Shocking!
I love your post.

I worry, however, that it may have disappointed two or three who expected a bashing thread that they could jump onto.

Recommended for the refreshing POV.

It would have fit so well on the Greatest Pages of late.
Sadly...

Supporters have to retreat into the Barack Obama forum to avoid the bullying and name calling in GD and GDP.

Quite the upside-down world, lately.

Ah well.

It will pass...not completely, but it will pass.

It may look like he's caving in and selling out, but you got to keep the faith.

17. I Know, Right? As If a President Should Keep His Promises! Progressives Are SO Stupid!
End war! Reform health care! Recognize equality! Champion victims of the banking industry!

What kind of moron believed Obama had any INTENTION of keeping those promises??? Man, it is SO FUCKING FUNNY when desperate people are lied to!

18. Two weeks ago many of you were pissed that Obama "kept his promise" in Afghanistan.
Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 10:04 AM by Renew Deal
And BTW, Obama kept every one of the promises you listed above (though he never promised to "end war").

Of COURSE Obama kept his promises! He's the bestest president EVER! And now, we're going to have some apple juice and pretend it's magic flying drink!!!
