The Obama Nation! (Join the Resistance)
 

Good Obama Promise Tracking Site Here

 

This is a listing of items that either reflect on the true character of Obama, campaign promises that turn out to be lies, unfulfilled, or where Obama did a complete 180ยบ about face.

Of course, where a promise is fulfilled, it will be noted! but, keep in mind...

Many promises listed are not good for the country and if he follows through could have devastating affects.

One problem is, his list of promises keep disappearing or changing on his web site and they're hard to track.

There are still questions like:

Why are campaign finance laws made when it's known that foreigners invested illegally (i.e. his aunt) and many contributed above the maximum to Obama's campaign. Why is he not held accountable? Why aren't the laws enforced? Why is Obama above the law?

If a citizen of the United States does not have standing before the courts to verify that a person meets the Constitutional requirements of citizenship, who does have standing?

Here's another list on the web in case I fall behind on updating mine!


 Category
  1. Public Funding - Promised to use Public Funding and then "changed his mind" when it became known he could raise lots of money.
Lie!
  2. The Obama's are invited by the Bush's for a tour of the White House on Nov 10th, 2008 where private meetings between Bush and Obama were held in the oval office. - You guessed it, the man who will be trusted with the nation's most secret data leaked the "private" Presidential conversation through his aides (who were not in attendance) to the press within hours.
Character flaw! - Trust
  3. Close GITMO and bring the terrorists into our legal system
Keeps Promise.
  4. Lobbyists - Obama said during the campaign lobbyists "won't find a job in my White House"
Lie!
  5. Diplomacy - Obama said he'd meet with rogue leaders like Amadinijad "without condition"
Softening on stance
  6. Abortion - Favors abortion rights - even partial birth abortion
Holding Steady
  7. Afghanistan - Would add about 7,000 troops to the U.S. force of 32,000, bringing the reinforcements from Iraq. Has threatened unilateral attack on high-value terrorist targets in Pakistan as they become exposed, "if Pakistan cannot or will not act" against them.
Patial Kept Promise
  8. Cuba - Ease restrictions on family-related travel and on money Cuban-Americans want to send to their families in Cuba. Open to meeting new Cuban leader Raul Castro without preconditions. Ease trade embargo if Havana "begins opening Cuba to meaningful democratic change."
We'll see
  9. Gun Control - Voted to leave gun-makers and dealers open to suit. Also, as Illinois state lawmaker, supported ban on all forms of semiautomatic weapons and tighter state restrictions generally on firearms.
We'll see
  10. Gay Marriage - Opposes constitutional amendment to ban it. Supports civil unions, says states should decide about marriage. Switched positions in 2004 and now supports repeal of Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal recognition of same-sex marriages and gives states the right to refuse to recognize such marriages.
We'll see
  11. Healthcare - Mandatory coverage for children, no mandate for adults. Aim for universal coverage by requiring larger employers to share costs of insuring workers and by offering coverage similar to that in plan for federal employees. Proposes spending $50 billion on information technology over five years to reduce health care costs over time. Tax Policy Center estimates overall plan's cost at $1.6 trillion over 10 years.
Heading that way!
  12. Immigration - Voted for 2006 bill offering legal status to illegal immigrants subject to conditions, including English proficiency and payment of back taxes and fines. Voted for border fence.
We'll see
  13. Iraq - all over the place. He talks like he has a plan but it's the same plan Bush has been implementing all along. Obama just thinks his idea sounds unique.
Nothing new here
  14. Stem Cell Research - Supports relaxing federal restrictions on financing of embryonic stem cell research.
Keeping Promise
  15. Taxes - A moving target from taxing those who make over $250,000 to $125,000. No one seems to know. If it's under $250,000 it will be considered a lie.
Big potential to be a LIE.
  16. Trade - Seek to reopen North American Free Trade Agreement to strengthen enforcement of labor and environmental standards. In 2004 Senate campaign, called for "enforcing existing trade agreements," not amending them.http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/File-Based_Image_Resource/dingbat_story_end_icon.gif
We'll see
  17. Fairness Doctrine - During the campaign, Obama signaled he did not support the reimposition of the Fairness Doctrine.
Moving that way
  18. Cardcheck - Under current law, workers must have an election with a secret ballot to organize a union. Under a new approach endorsed by Obama, a secret ballot would no longer be required.
We'll see
  19. William Ayers - With Ayer's recent update to his earlier book, he states that the Ayers and the Obamas were personal friends. Obama claims he hardly knew him.
LIE!
  20 CHANGE? What change. So far it's the same old Clinton Administration folks he's picking for his cabinet positions.
