This isn't a complete list. It doesn't even mention his promise of no new taxes for those making under $250,000 or the many absurd promises about Obamacare. 12 new taxes in Obamacare affect everyone, much like the increase in social security withholdings. You probably won't get to keep your current doctor and insurance and costs will not go down. Too many more broken promises to mention.

In 2008, Obama was against spying on citizens for no reason. Now, it's the specialty of his administration. He was totally against tracking citizens, too.

He promised to close GITMO.

He also promised to revise the Patriot Act and overturn all the unconstitutional executive decisions made by Bush. Instead he using everything allowed by the act, and not in the way it was intended.

Oversight on surveillance programs. He actually said he supported our constitutional rights and protections. Okay, anyone still believe that? There is less oversight and surveillance is rampant, our rights be damned.

Transparency and openness. Yet, they changed the FOIA and allow themselves to withhold information from the press and public.

According to Obama before he became pres, whistleblowers should be encouraged, not stifled, to keep government honest. Now we know he meant whistleblowers against Republican administrations.

17. On Presidential War Powers (See Libya)
“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. In instances of self-defense, the President would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent. History has shown us time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch. It is always preferable to have the informed consent of Congress prior to any military action.” (2007)
>>>
19. Don't Mock the Constitution
"Don’t mock the Constitution. Don’t make fun of it. Don’t suggest that it’s un-American to abide by what the Founding Fathers set up. It’s worked pretty well for over two-hundred years." (2008)

Low information voter, buy a clue. We are still in the Afghanistan war. Obama had his surge and the surge was a great increase in deaths and then Obama admits failure. Just because the hypocrite left shows they could care less about our men doesn't mean they still ain't fighting and dying. Three died just the other day.

Show me the proof he killed OBL.

Pentagon admits it has no photo evidence of Bin Laden's death

Where's the deficit now? Just over $600 billion yearly and falling.

I remember it was almost three times as much yearly 5 years ago. So, actually, it's a promise kept. The deficits are actually way less than half of what they were 4-5 years ago.

Are you people all stupid? You call Obama a dictator, but then you blame him for not closing Gitmo. But he can't close Gitmo because he's NOT A DICTATOR and needs the Congress to actually authorize the funding of it closing.

Which President put people in Gitmo and which President has been taking them out?

The game we really need to play is, "List the achievements of George W. Bush".
 
well he is from Chicago. there u go. its a lawless town. they all lie to get into office, then the residents flee further south when they soon realize that Chicago is being run by 12 or so Hitler wanna-bees.

Obama's deficits are still twice what Bush's were.

Quit whining. When will Obama ever take responsibility for his own failures?
 
big deal. so what if deficits are down, what about the debt? and he is still going on a multi-million dollar vacation to cape cod? why there? what ever happened to taking vacations,,,IN THE MAINLAND?
 
you know, we could be 30 trillion in debt, and he would still spend millions of dollars of borrowed tax dollars to go to some prestige island.
