It's interesting how those who will toe any line the republicans draw are completely incapable of imagining that other people might not do the same thing.

yes, and they have colours. I'm admittedly not au courant with the hippity-hoppity subculture so prevalent among the urban youth, but it is my understanding that flash identifies with the red ones. I believe they term themselves "bloods" (sp?).

Obama is BushLite. Not sure why the repugs hate him so much. He's pretty much a DINO.

Create a $10 billion fund to help homeowners refinance or sell their homes.
End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000
Create a $60 billion bank to fund roads and bridges
Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes
Phase out exemptions and deductions for higher earners
Sign the Employee Free Choice Act, making it easier for workers to unionize
Lift the payroll tax cap on earnings above $250,000
Forbid companies in bankruptcy from giving executives bonuses
Allow workers to claim more in unpaid wages and benefits in bankruptcy court

Well, if we're comparing teams, he's at least doing better than his GOP counterparts, who are at 18%. I don't know, I'd say 47% at least is pretty good, with potentially more to come. The number that is explicitly broken at least is relatively small in comparison.

That did it - interesting. Is that the House Leadership after the 2010 elections? Looks like almost everything is "Not yet rated."

"Expand the Senior Corps volunteer program" is not the same as "Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center".
Lumping them together is an attempt to hide the heavy failure.

For comparison of rated promises, btw, the numbers break out to:
Obama / GOP leadership (however that's defined)
Kept: 36% / 41%
Broken: 14% / 9%
Compromise: 11% / 4.55%

so vote republican: "Expand the Senior Corps volunteer program" is not the same as "Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center".

Yes, if only politifact had picked, I don't know, a top 25 promises or something, and put a link to that right from that main page.
Also, I was presenting flash with a list of promises that he could pick from, if you were following the thread.

Seriously, flash, if you wanted a Republican for president, why did you vote for Obama? I distinctly remember Obama running as a Democrat!
