If politics was baseball and promises were base hits, then Obama would be batting .320. However, politics is not baseball or reality TV, despite the current GOP clown show's attempt to make it so. It's serious. It affects how all of us live today and tomorrow.
Pols, make promises, they're a kind of a bribe. Sometimes pols are too desperate and are too eager and too glib, as they tell voters "vote for me, I will do XY & Z!" Obama made a lot of promises, he got a lot of votes. How's he doing, do you feel well bribed? Well, he's come thorough on one third of his bribes. That means, on two-thirds, voters are left holding the bag. When Obama hits the campaign trail this year and makes more promises, will you laugh, jeer or sigh?
