Safe Mode: On
Obama’s Promises Vs. Obama’s Actions

In 2008 Barack Obama spoke to our deep frustrations with the politics of broken promises and abandoned dreams. He encouraged us to join him on a journey to bring meaningful change to Washington. He promised us that his words mattered. And, he attracted new voters to engage in the political process and asked all of us to hold him accountable.

His rival, Hillary Clinton, cautioned us that Obama was "peddling false hope." But in 2008 the vast majority of Americans gave him their trust.

Words Matter 2012 is a project devoted to giving voters a non-partisan and objective insight into what was promised...and what was delivered. From Guantanamo Bay to Wall Street, from the economy to fairness in government - Can we trust what our elected leaders tell us? Who is right? What do we believe? Do words still matter?







"But the vast majority of American's gave him their trust"



Let me rephrase that if I may: The vast majority of morons who did not do any research on this man before they voted for him, are now seeing how stupid they are.

  • Now we know why Obama wants to control the "interweb", so he can delete stuff that makes him look bad. He's got a lot of work!!

  • "Words matter. What our leaders say matters, because the American people need to trust that we're saying what we mean, and we're meaning what we say."

    Wow. Majorly screwed himself there. That should be used in a campaign ad followed by a montage of him saying one thing, and then doing something different.

  • Who said Obama hasn't done anything?

    An impressive list of accomplishments from a 'Socialist President'!! Very interesting!!!

    First President to have a social security number from a state in which
    he has never lived.

    First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States.

    First President to violate the War Powers Act.

    First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally
    obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico .

  • Obama took an oath.. To uphold our constitution..

    He has violated this oath both domestically and foreign..

    He needs impeached and thrown in jail where he belongs

  • A president cannot act unilaterally. He has checks on his power from the congress and the courts.

    ...just like the way the framers intended.

    • @PH-DEE Really, how about the nice order not to deport certain illegal aliens or the small matter of Fast and Furious.

      Doesn't seem to me like Congress has been able to do anything to check this fools actions.

      Then of course we have the Supreme court that changed language in a bill that was duly passed and signed into law in order to help him out.

      Nice checks and balances.

    • @PH-DEE Obama is a lawbreaker...

  • And yet, it's looking more and more like Mitt Romney is going to lose.

    • @picklethepug

      He's going to lose badly. Not because Obama is that great, but because Romney is trying to be too many things to too many different people and doesn't really have any policy plans except, "trust us, we'll let you know when we get into office."

    • @picklethepug

      LOL

      as if you EVER thought it looked like he was going to win......

      Being genuine.... it's not a trait found among libtards.

      Not true. I've always thought he was a spineless douchebag tool I still think there's a chance Romney could win. If g.w. bush could win twice, anything is possible.

      Obama is not Carter and Romney is not Reagan, but I agree, anything is possible.
