Flip-flopney compares Obama promises to Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage

Yes. Really. Mitt Romney said: "I’ve been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises. I think the gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of ‘til death do we part." (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-presidential-primary/201909-romney-obamas-promises-as-good-as-kim-kardashians-wedding-vows) Recently, reality TV star Kim Kardashian divorced from basketball player Kris Humphries after 72 days of marriage; their super-expensive wedding went beyond 1-percenter status into a reality TV special.

Hmm, what about the fact that Romney changes promises all the time. See WhichMitt.com. (Yes even though it's a DNC site even Free Republic and some RW bloggers praised the site.) One recent Mitt Morph was when he promised to repeal the DREAM Act if Congress passes it when he is president. Yet Romney supported the 2007 immigration bill that would have given some illegal immigrants a pathway to US citizenship.

This also reeks of McCain's "Celebrity" ad from 2008 comparing Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

what Obama said he would do and what he has actually done are about as far apart as they can be.

I don't have a problem with him not being able to do everything promised. The problem I have is that he didn't even appear attempt to do the things he promised.

He continued the very worst policies of the previous administration and threw his base a couple of bones here and there but nothing of significance.
