Fought for? "We?" villager Jan 2012 #1
that's right bigtree Jan 2012 #2
Just trying to remember the things Obama fought real hard for, is all.... villager Jan 2012 #6
Here's a good place to start: FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #10
Yes, and I could give you the link leading to the broken promises, too (as you know) villager Jan 2012 #13
Just assume I'm a realist. And of course there are broken promises, but you didn't ask for those. FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #26
continue here bigtree Jan 2012 #18
well, since you're in to blue linky circle jerk, after all, here's Politifacts promises broken chart villager Jan 2012 #19
that's a biased piffle bigtree Jan 2012 #25
wait -- the same source you use is "biased piffle" when that *same source* has facts you don't like? villager Jan 2012 #30
ooh bigtree Jan 2012 #36
+1 Wind Dancer Jan 2012 #53
biased piffle? the same source for both charts? piratefish08 Jan 2012 #58
But only 3 pages as opposed to 8 pages of promises kept. And... FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #28
FarLeftFist, the short list of items interesting to progressives is, indeed, very short. JDPriestly Jan 2012 #43
I completely agree. I am more than willing to give him a 2nd term to find out FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #48
so DonCoquixote Jan 2012 #29
So.. I started with a link to the "factual" website he used. Are you deciding what "facts" are now? villager Jan 2012 #31
NO, his facts are good DonCoquixote Jan 2012 #35
Here's a fact. The President in this speech talked a lot about Republicans giving tax cuts to the sabrina 1 Jan 2012 #52
yes, you must be dreaming bigtree Jan 2012 #62
Thanks for that, bigtree! pnorman Jan 2012 #77
No, I was trying to avoid the whole blue link fandango for this reason villager Jan 2012 #78
Thanks Big Tree! nt One of the 99 Jan 2012 #81
LOL. Your list doesn't mention NAFTA. Easy to list "kept" promises--just pretend the broken ones Romulox Jan 2012 #73
Yes, WE! Avalux Jan 2012 #4
I mean yes, "we" might fight for these things -- does the White House? villager Jan 2012 #11
Either we're in this together, or they win. Avalux Jan 2012 #14
I would agree. I would also hope you get the White House to come 'round to that point of view. villager Jan 2012 #17
The unfortunate reality, is the "we" (if we include Obama) have not fought for what we should. HuckleB Jan 2012 #15
That struck me first. emilyg Jan 2012 #49

What are you really fighting for, Obama? RC Jan 2012 #12
That's really the question, isn't it? villager Jan 2012 #16
don't pretend you're actually listening bigtree Jan 2012 #21
Alas, it's because I've been paying attention, rather than digesting press releases, that I question villager Jan 2012 #22
well then bigtree Jan 2012 #24
ah, the reasoned discussion comes out at last. villager Jan 2012 #32

"Smearing by association"? Project much? Edweird Jan 2012 #64
Sorry if you read valid criticism as smearing but... Bonobo Jan 2012 #65

That's all that mattered to you? joshcryer Jan 2012 #45
Well, repeal the Bush tax cuts for the rich too, but... PowerToThePeople Jan 2012 #46
Fair enough. Fairly privileged but fully legitimate view to hold. joshcryer Jan 2012 #47
Maybe I'll hold my nose and vote for Obama. But we only got our UNIFORMED troops out of Iraq. AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #55
