What promise, that Obama has kept, matters to you most? What broken promise do you most wish he had kept?

Question

There is a big one in the news today that more than one of the Gitmo prisoners is going through a military trial rather than a civilian one.  Perhaps this promise meant a lot to you?  Closing Gitmo matters more to me than the process for adjudication... but of all of them, I wonder what promise he has kept and not kept that matters to you.

KEPT: DADT repeal
NOT KEPT: Patriot Act repeal. And Gitmo

Healthcare reform is the promise most important and accomplished (not perfect but initial civil rights legislation was not perfect either).  The one promise broken I am disappointed in is keeping Guantanamo Bay's prison open.

I think his epic accomplishment in the health care reform bill is what matters most (though it does have flaws) Probably the biggest disappointment is not trashing the very unpatriotic "Patriot" Act. I do realize that he has not abused it to the extent that the previous administration did, but I still think it would have been great to send this constitution-unfriendly reminder of the Bush administration into the trash heap where it belongs.

Health care he kept,  that is an incredible accomplishment

Closing Quatano (sp??) in Cuba he did not.  For America's image he should have kept that one.

He promised his kids he'd get a dog.

I wish he'd stopped the war, instead of starting another one.

The only promise he made was that there would be change. How do you like it so far?
