Obama detractors like very much to put common liberal agendas into his mouth and then claim he's failed as a savior. Reality diverges from this view significantly. Feel free to keep regurgitating nonsense, but I'm going to try my damnedest to keep bringing FACTS to the table. Hopefully at least I'll get you to a place where you're unable to say these things with a straight face.

No. He's broken the promise to bring the troops home. Here's the video, "you can take that to the bank."
and then he denies it having said the above...
