The folks at the Grabien video service has taken the time to track all Obama’s promises made during his past State of the Union speeches and found that 112 of his promises have gone unkept.
From 2009 to 2014, Obama has made scores of promises at his SOTU blatherings, but few of his promises have been fulfilled.
In fact, Obama has the worst recordof getting what he wants at the SOTU since Gerald Ford!
Grabien didn’t just create a montage video of the failed promises, but they also took the time to write them all out.
We find in the list, for instance, Obama’s claim in 2009 that his stimulus would create 3.5 million jobs. This, of course, never happened. He also claimed in 2010 that he supported a “new generation of nuclear energy plants.” This one was a laughable lie even when he said it because neither he nor his party supports the nuclear power industry.
He even claimed in one SOTU address that he was going to :cure cancer.” No, seriously. He did.
In fact, a lot of what Obama says during these phenomenal wastes of time are outright lies. One of the things he’s promised since he first began to run for president in 2006 is an end to overweening regulations.
You just don’t understand. You have to parse the language very carefully. It all depends on the meaning of the word “is”.
He promised, but the rascally G. W. Bush prevented his promises from being filled.
He promised, but the rascally Republicans would not let him.
He promised, but things just did not work out as he planned.
Why are you so hard on him? Are you racist, or what?
He is the One we have been waiting for. He told us so himself. And he cannot lie.
Besides, things change.
So get over it.
@mathman: And the reason he has not broken 113 promises. He only made 112. (it is Bush’s fault, he wouldn’t let him make but 112)
So now it has been revealed that Obama is guilty of
