188 Fact-Checked Promises President Obama Has Kept

Post by bigbigpig »

Truth is often time stranger than fiction, yet in the realm of Tealandia – such distinctions are difficult at best. Next time one of them tells you that Obama is a liar… the next time one of them tells you that he has done nothing for America since being elected. Take this list of promised President Obama has kept and….. well, I bet you know what to do with it!

This list has all been fact-checked and, in fact, is an abbreviated version of the list of promises that President Obama has kept from http://www.politifact.com/. Be sure to check out their website for the completely unabridged list of promises and see for yourself all the detail on each of these 188 promises.

Those are accomplishments? How do you fact check this one?
Consider “smart growth” in transportation funding
And getting his daughters a dog is hardly a benefit to the nation.

Wow! I didn't know he even had the authority to do many of those things, but I guess they're all "fact-checked" and attributable to President Obama.

Some of the things he has accomplished makes me believe that maybe he did earn that Nobel Peace Prize. Even though it probably wasn't easy, can you believe he accually accomplished this feat:

9. Ask people and businesses to conserve electricity

Fucking WOW! I'm not only voting for him in November, I'm starting a petition so he can run for reelection again in 2016!

[/sarcasm]

What a fucking joke...

It reads like a list of "accomplishments" from someone asked to write their own resumé or job review that doesn't really do anything and needed to pad the list with as many meaningless items as possible. There is nothing of any real substance there at all and most it the items are "duh" type things that took all of 1 second to do.

Several of the items are ridiculously comical...

Add another Space Shuttle flight
Conduct robust research and development on future space missions
Explore whether International Space Station can operate after 2016
Increase spending to prepare for longer space missions
Partner to enhance the potential of the International Space Station

They left out SLASH NASA BUDGET which negates all of the items above.

I'd like to come up with a fact-checked list of my own.

"1,500 Fact-Checked Instances where Obama Unnecessarily Blamed Bush for Something Stupid to Distract from his own Failures"

You really think you can narrow it down to just 1,500 instances?
