Face it, he's a moron when it comes to national politicians. If you watch the 25 worst presidential blunders in history at www.nowobama.com, you'll understand why he is the first president in 50 years to not release his college grades from the three colleges he attended.
To 70 million Americans: "we have these ships, aircraft carriers that planes can land on, and we have these ships that can go under water, submarines". Jee's no kiddin.
Promised dozens of times to cut the national debt of $10 trillion by 50% in his first term, a debt which took 50 years to accumulate, and instead he added $6 trillion to the $10= now $16 trillion. One more term doing that and we as a strong country are history.
Promised dozens of times he would close Quantanomo Bay Prison immediately upon becoming president. Still open.
Said a hundred times in 2007, if elected he's bring all our troops home within two years. A few months later wins the Noble Peace Prize, then a few months after that sends an additional 10,000 troops to Afghanistan, then a year later sends an additional 33,000 troops to Afghanistan. Since becoming president (loose term) 1,400 young American soldiers have been killed in that war. Noble Peach Prize?
Promised a hundred times the healthcare negotiations would be televised on CPAN and people could watch both parties and see what each party was saying? Not televised. No reporters were allowed inside the conference room. No Republicans were allowed to even be a part of the negotiations.
I could go on and on with many of these but worse yet is the fact that not a single ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN reporter asked him about all these promises as if they never existed.
The only obvious answer to your questions is to ignore them.
You are talking about him bringing troops home and his failure to do so but you defend Bush's decision to send them to war in the first place.
Close the prison that Bush opened up right? So, it's okay to open it but a death knell if you don't close it in a timely manner.
He was supposed to cut the debt in half, Bush's debt correct?
The reason your talking points straight off of FOX and Friends are less than remarkable as they meant nothing to you when your man was in and now all of a sudden they matter. It seems that all Republicans suffer from the same hypocritical short term memory loss.
Hope that helps,
