Yikes! Salon rips Obama. SALON does.....

Actually, it's under their "News" section.

Holy shit man...

Politics - Salon.comwar_room/2010/12/27/obama_promises/index.html

So, it's in the war room. And what is the war room? let's see:

War Room is our political news and commentary blog,
Haha!

Yet in the footer, the "War Room" is first link under "News."

Go figure.

That's because the "News" section covers everything involving politics, world events etc...while the other banners cover tech, movies and the like.

Kinda like the editorial section of a newspaper being in the News section instead of the sports section.
 
It's actually five but, who's counting?

Indeed, but it explains the context of two of them and gives reasons unrelated to Obama for their failure.
We must be reading different articles. There's no blame shifting in the one I'm reading.

Perhaps you just haven't finished it yet? Here:
this promise was arguably harder to keep than the first four, and falls into the expansive category of promises stymied in part by congressional opposition
 
A "Far Left" blog criticizing a "Center Left" President?

Woah..Skies are a fallin'..
It's a blog? No, it's an online magazine published with new daily material since 1995.

I'm still sorta old school. I don't really trust interweb media just yet.

It's still the "if you see on the interwebs..verify it somewhere else" phase for me.:lol:
The article DOES rely on another innertube source, Politifact, throughout. So your adage goes double!

Ahh, yes. But read on.

This, clearly, did not happen. In fact, we're about to pass the two-year mark of the administration without an immigration bill being promoted by Obama.
He hasn't even promoted it. So where was the opposition?

I guess there is supposed to be a point to this thread.

NEWSFLASH: Many on the left are disappointed with Obama's performance and will say so.

Stupid.
Asked and answered earlier. But love seeing me some puppeteering and faithful regurgitation!
 
The promises Obama wants you to keep forgetting - War Room - Salon.com

Most of this is petty stuff -- which tells you more about the far-left as represented by Salon than it tells you about Obama. But the fact that they're picking on the petty stuff.... Alarming if you're an Obamaphile.

How so?
One of the main cheerleaders in 2008 now is picking nits. Did you bother reading the article?

Obama is not doing his job if he is not pissing off the far right or the far left.

It comes with being President

I'm with ya on that. But it's "and" not "or."

But.... He promised the Moon. Literally!:lol:

Why the hell would we ever want to go back to the Moon? We've been there. If we want better pictures of it, why don't we just point the Hubble at it and start snapping away?

Actually..this is a pretty slight critique.

You want to seem some real doom and gloom condemnation of President Obama's administration..read Paul Krugman.

I agree with you on the space program. Bush promised Mars in a JFK knockoff

I would just as soon use unmanned rovers and a state of the art Hubble Telescope

There should be a colony on the Moon by now.

It's amazing there isn't..

The opposition was from Republicans, who stood in lockstep against the DREAM act.

I'm with ya 100% on this one. JFK promised to land a man on the moon within the decade...in 1961.

Now, fifty years later we're supposed to be excited that we might get another man back there in twenty years?
 
Read the article.

I did. It recites three somewhat minor promises that the President has not kept - with an explanation for each.
It's actually five but, who's counting?

Minor?

State of the World speech "...in which I lay out our national security policy."

Bills on the WH website for five days before signing, in light of the fact that Dims passed massive bills of thousands of pages virtually no one in congress even read but Barry signed into law (without reading?).

Wonder what the clown has to say to get something into the Major column?
 
Given the HUGE deviations from what the "left" wing hoped of Obama, I agree that these complaints are rather petty
 
A "Far Left" blog criticizing a "Center Left" President?

Woah..Skies are a fallin'..

LOL You mean Progressive socialist blog criticizing a far left president ;).

Salon isn't on the left/right of american's politics. Its off in a seperate category where progressives, one world government, socialist, and communist types hang out.

Um..no.

But thanks for playing. There are door prizes.:lol:

Center Left?

Yes, that is the Meme the Obamanoids are trying to spread.

Obama is a far left radical. His voting record in the Senate as well as the Big Government programs he has promoted as President prove this. The fact that he has compromised with the GOP on the Obama Tax Cut Extension just shows he is also a cowardly worm who is more concerned with his own career than his cause.
