If you’re happy, I’m…

I went on the internet last week, and found THIS!

No. Actually I’ve been keeping an eye on our friendly looking, sincere ruler of the world and so did a bit of scratching.

Has he lived up to his promises?

Example.
He promised that when elected he would bring the boys back home from the East cos they clearly had no right or reason to be there…yet the pull-out story changes as time goes on from calling the pull out in less than a week –> considation of plans exceeding a year. There’s a link below to some forum banter for consideration.

Quote:
Despite his plans to send tens of thousands more troops to Afghanistan to boost stability, the Obama administration seems to be heeding expert advice that no military solution is possible over the long term.

Ok. So Obama then sends more troops in instead of taking them out and decides on a LONG TERM Eastern operation! The time period multiplies by the flipping week.

Quote:
President Barack Obama is considering a plan to pull out U.S. troops from Iraq in 19 months, not the 16 months he promised on the campaign trail. The other twist in the reported plan is that it would leave 50,000 troops behind, which begs the question: Is that really a full drawdown of U.S. forces in that war-torn country?

Quote:
The plan would split the difference between Obama’s campaign pledge to withdraw most forces in 16 months and the U.S. obligation under a security agreement with Iraq to pull out altogether by the end of 2011, an unnamed official told Bloomberg. The official said the president hasn’t made a final decision about an Iraq drawdown.
About 142,000 U.S. troops are now in Iraq, according to the Defense Department.

Wat? Watch that 2011 number grow too.
It doesn’t all add up. It seems thus far he has ratified very few promises made in them original speeches! There are other examples of false promises, if you care to scratch. MANY campaign promises broken.

Is there a good reason for this that I didn’t stumble on?
