    Because you're the one who's trying to prove he breaks his promises.

    You're right. It wasn't coincidence. See if you can figure out why on earth I would've chosen a video of Bush. Work your brain muscle.

    Really? Someone ask promises the President cannot keep and you throw a video of Bush up when he is clearly talking about Obama. Shut the up with "use your brain muscle and one brain cell bull " You know what you did. Man up about it instead of act like a ing lil in denial.

    A Obama lie he obviously cannot realistically keep.

    Closing Gitmo within the first 100 days of presidency.

    What's sad is that those promises have to be made in order to secure a vote. Typical politician tactic. Go to the masses and promise things that cannot be achieved in order to secure a vote.

    And it's not the politician's fault. People want to hear what they want to hear. Getting voted is all dependant on the majority believing what you have to say.

    You know something, you're right. He didn't put legislation online. Someone did though.

    You're not making yourself look good by making sentences like this. I'm above your intelligence grasp? What does that even mean?

    Where did he say no earmarks? Grandpa McCain said it, but I don't recall Obama saying it.

    , do you not have Google.com?

    " The truth is, our earmark system in Washington is fraught with abuse. It badly needs reform — which is why I didn't request a single earmark last year, why I've released all my previous requests for the public to see, and why I've pledged to slash earmarks by more than half when I
    am president of the United States of America." Barack Obama, September 22, 2008

    "Absolutely, we need earmark reform. And when I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely." Barack Obama, September 26, 2008

    "But when they start characterizing this as pork, without acknowledging that there are no earmarks in this package — something, again, that was pretty rare over the last eight years — then you get a feeling that maybe we're playing politics instead of actually trying to solve problems for the American people." Barack Obama, February 9, 2009

    "I'm proud that we passed the recovery plan free of earmarks." Barack Obama, February 24, 2009
    Just for the record, there were over 9,000 earmarks in the Stimulus bill.

    And, this is the same president that says Obamacare will cost less and cover more; there will be no rationing; no single-payer system; and, no federally funded abortions.

    Obama is a ing liar.

    There were over 9,000. The man does not have a relationship with the truth.

    You're not too familiar with the word "promise" are you? And why weren't you this butthurt when any other President was lying? you think Obama is the first President to lie to the American people?

    , I'm not even talking about promises...I'm saying the man flat out lied.

    Being proud of passing a bill without earmarks, when it has 9,000 of them, is bizarre. It's worse than not keeping a political promise. It demonstrates a willingness to ignore the facts to advance an agenda.

    With such impunity and disregard for known facts? Yeah.

    It's like saying he sat in a church for 20 years and never knew his pastor was a racist and a bigot.

    It's like having a neighbor who gives you your first gig as a community organizer, throws your political coming out party, and (allegedly) writes one of your two autobiographies -- and he's just a guy from the neighborhood.

    It's like having a crook give you a sweetheart deal on your house and, when he's arrested, you've never had any dealings with him.

    Obama is a world-class ing liar. Bill Clinton can't hold a candle to him.

    Let me familiarize you with the word promise:

    prom⋅ise
      /ˈprɒmɪs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [prom-is] Show IPA noun, verb, -ised, -is⋅ing.
    Use promise in a Sentence
    See web results for promise
    See images of promise
    –noun
    1. a declaration that something will or will not be done, given, etc., by one: unkept political promises.
    2. an express assurance on which expectation is to be based: promises that an enemy will not win.
    3. something that has the effect of an express assurance; indication of what may be expected.
    4. indication of future excellence or achievement: a writer who shows promise.

    get the hint? Now go back and tell where Obama gave an indication he was going to do away with earmarks. I'll wait here.
