I'll bet that's a lot easier to post than prove.

As for breaking promises, he promised to cut the deficit in half and to close Gitmo...

As for being divisive, he said that Republicans should sit in the back of the bus.

How's that for worlking across the aisle Spence? How will you spin that, I wonder?

A little modicum of intellectual honesty makes life a lot easier Spence.

We'll completely ignore the Defense Authorization Bill of 2011, it would be hard to build outrage and blame with that.

Likwid, I don't know what that bill is, I don't know what it did. Unless that bill closed Gitmo or made it illegal to insult Republicans, posting that bill does not refute my point.

Spence said it would be difficult to prove that Obama broke promises, and that it would be difficult to prove that Obama intentionally alienates his political opponents. He said that would be difficult. Turns out, it's only difficult when you are literally blinded by love for Obama.

As it turns out, if you consider Obama's record honestly and thoughtfully, you can prove those things in two seconds.

Did Obama break every promise he ever made? Nope. Does he insult conservatives every time he opens his mouth? Nope.

Did he break promises? Yes. Does he have a habit of demonizing those who disgree with him? Yes.

Nothing hateful or even opinionated in that post. Just fair-minded honest facts.

Go look it up, please. Just spewing "look! didn't close gitmo!" without understanding the backstory is just straight up silly.

OK, I looked it up. I also went back and listened to his campaign promises.

The man promised to close Gitmo. Gitmo is still open. Promise broken.

Am I going too fast?

He also promised to cut the deficit in half, and hasn't done so. Is it equally silly for me to say he broke that promise?

The man was forced into not closing Gitmo.

Do I need to make comments that will make you cry to the mods?

You mean a bill that was essentially dropping the Constitution into a fire? As a Constitutional Scholar, you'd think Obama would have vetoed the bill due to the blatant destruction of civil liberties that were contained within.
