Members here often mention a President broke his or her campaign slogans. This as if a campaign slogan is a promise or a holy scriptural thing. How much do slogans influence you and do you believe they are equal to promises?
here is one example I found amusing:

If you actually vote for campaign slogans I think your right to vote should be taken away.But Dude will say Obama has done what no other President has done in the history of the USA...he's went back on a campaign promise!
Seeing as his slogan all along was
"change the way we do things in Washington"..
Breaking these promises hold a heck of a lot of water:
"no lobbysists"
"no back room dealing"
"air all debates on c-span"
"all bills posted for 5 days before a vote"
"No more unecessary earmarks and poork projects"
"all bills will be read by him personally"
So other than those things, what is left as it pertains to the way thigs are done in Washington?
Come on pal, I voted against Obama twice. Actually once. Once I voted for Hillary and then against Obama. I thought the idea of McCain being President...that a divided government would be better. I did not ever vote against or for a campaign because of a slogan.
