    Could you be more off base?

    Thank you gala1 for showing us just how far off base it is possible to be.

    "For all of you who thought that when Obama made all those campaign promises to you, he meant any single one of them --Welcome to Politics 101."

    You must be joking. The real issue here is not that Obama isn't honoring campaign promises. The issue is that he IS honoring them. He is doing exactly what he said he would do and the far left just didn't believe he would be the centrist he said he would be. I'm sorry you are still angry about Hillary. I worked for her campaign and thought she would have been a great president but that doesn't blind me to the fact that Obama could be just as good.
