What promises does Obama have left to offer? Seriously?

Obama promised to leave Iraq: BUSH is currently negotiating that this happen in concert with the needs/wants of the new Iraqi government - Verdict...already done. Under BUSH. Obama won't get troops out any faster. he has already flip-flopped on his 16 month timeline...that no longer exists. He would be forced to continue the withdrawal negotiations with the Iraqi government. 2011/12 is not when Bush wants to leave, it's when the Iraq government feels it can stand primarily on its own. Not only is that a withdrawal of troops, but it also called a victory.

The economy will recover without Obama, in fact probably better without him. It is ALREADY happening. New home sales showed an increase, banks ARE freeing up money and beginning to lend and overall confidence is indicated by stock market rallies. The price of gasoline, diesel and oil products has dropped off a cliff in price and continues to drop. The DOW rose 900 points today! Wheee. Verdict...already in progress under BUSH.

On education, do you think Obama has something to offer...no. McCain wants to expand the already successful voucher program. Obama simply wants to pay teachers more for failing. Verdict…no change under Obama, only Democratic pandering to Teacher’s Unions.

No more BUSH/Change in Washington: Verdict...done. McCain is NOT bush and although he is quoted as voting for him 95% of the time, that was last year alone, prior to that he had records as low as 77%. Obama has ALWAYS voted along his party's lines with an average of about 98%. Verdict...Done!

Taxation: His unholy promise of a tax cut for the middle class. This all that remains folks! Of course, his record prior to running for President has always been tax & spend more ACROSS THE BOARD. Is the faint hope of a few extra bucks in your middle class pocket worth anything? Chances are this will never happen anyway, and candidate after candidate in our history has promised the same exact thing and it virtually never comes to fruition.

My point is that Obama has nothing to offer. Everything he is promising is already happening under BUSH...not Obama. Wake up...break the spell!

Update:

My point to all you knitpickers who ATTEMPTED to defend Obama...everything is promising is already in the works. Under BUSH. Now I'm sure he'll be taking his share of credit for all this CHANGE that Bush already has underway if he is elected, but people are beginning to see through him. There's no need for him.

    Freedom isn't Free, a lot of people in over 200 years fought and died for that Freedom, to have it voted away in an election by uniformed voters.

    Barack Hussein Obama doesn't have to keep promises.

    It worked for all his idols, Adolph Hitler, Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin and many many more.

    Barack Hussein Obama tells people what they want to hear.

    Barack Hussein Obama promises them whatever he thinks they want.

    Barack Hussein Obama denies saying anything or making any promises when it is inconvenient for him or he asks to rephrase whatever he has said or promised to please whoever he is talking too at the moment.

    If Barack Hussein Obama is elected, God forbid, he will deny all his promises, blame Bush when he can't deliver and ask for 4 more years.

    May God protect the American People and the Free World from the Democrat Party and Barack Hussein Obama.

    The most important thing is that in future the u.s. will leave the rest of the world in peace and do their own business, not all the countries in this world are like iraq, and russia and china will not allow any other interference in their internal affairs (just like the ossezia matter).

    he's offered a world of no taxes, no guns, no war, no rich people, no poor people, and everyone is gonna hold hands in his crazy fantasy.

    We are not going to act unilaterally anymore and we are going to get off our addiction to fossil fuels with an Obama presidency. And what's wrong with voting for your party if you think they are right?

    No politician has perfect policies.

    Your friend John McCain has policies that will send us down the toilet.
