Has Obama kept his promises?

Education? The economy? Jobs?

Hell No he's no longer! a guy could be a solid Speaker, yet That Doesnt Make Him a solid guy. Obama is going To Screw Us Over interior the destiny. seem at Hitler, He became an marvelous Speaker, yet He became A Human without Soul. Obama must be the comparable way. He Has The Media On A Leash . Like they have informed Him earlier, and that i Quote," Obama And The Media ought to Get A Room"

Let's get real. If you can't see it by now...

Yes let's cut Obama some slack for what the hell for? For not being there playing golf while Americans struggled to find jobs? Hell no! Let's cut him some slack for being the worst president ever?

America is in the worst shape it's ever been in just because of that jackass. Obama has not kept any promises except to hand out rewards to people who only influence America by singing and Olympics. I don't give two shits about the Olympics! I want my country to remain free!

Obama has kept a larger percentage of his campaign promises than any other President since Reagan....

And his "primary promise" of change?

If you were among the 65% of Americans patriotic enough to own US stocks, you wouldn't have to ask this question!

Dow under G W Bush; 10,860 down to 8,279 by the time he left Office (Net loss -23.7%)
Dow under Obama ; 8,279 to 15,215 (up 6,936 points, or 83.8%) as of close today…

S&P 500 under Bush; 1343 to 805 (down 538 points, or 46%)
S&P 500 under Obama; 805.22 to 1,650.34 (up 845 points or 105%!) as of close today

If YOU are not FAR wealthier than you were the day Obama was first elected to Office, that ain't HIS fault....it's YOURS!

Mostly. according to politifact the current score card for 500 of his promises is as follows:

Kept: 239
Compromised on: 130
Stalled or broken: 139

So whether you consider a promise he agreed to compromise on to be a "broken promise" or a "Kept" promise will be a factor it still looks like he has kept a lot more than he has broken. And, of course, some of those on the "stalled or broken" list are promises that he is still working on -- background checks, closing Gitmo, etc, -- and seem to be gaining traction.
