What dc_dux said, plus the incredibly obvious point that Obama's campaign promises were promises of what he would do *during his administration*, not what he would do with the very first bill through congress. Also, any promise a presidential candidate makes is made with the understanding that our government has *three* parts, and a president can only do so much without the cooperation of congress. For instance, #2 and #3 pretty much require congressional cooperation. Not to mention the fact that the assertion that the democrats didn't work with the republicans in congress is a flat-out lie. Hard to pick out among all the other lies.

Make up new ones *and* continue to use the old ones. Practically no one on TV or even in the newspapers will call them on it because 'reporters' these days don't care about 'facts'.
