His deregulation and Gorsuch nomination is worthy of the support of his entire base, and 96% of his voters are very happy with his performance.Misty » 02 May 2017 1:17 pm » wrote:I don't need the 'MSM FAKE News' to tell me that he has not kept many of his promises.
It's fairly obvious.
I watched every one of his televised rallies.
So I know which promises he made, and I know which promises have so far been kept or not.
So far he has signed a bunch of EO's, most of them just meaningless memos commissioning a bunch of reviews.
He has not been able to get one piece of major legislation through Congress.
He's gone back on his word about Mexico paying for his wall, tax cuts that would mostly benefit the middle class, tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, quickly wiping the hell out of ISIS, withdrawing from NAFTA and NATO being obsolete, just to name a few.
No matter what his accomplishments, you'll lie and downplay them.
What did Obama get done in his first 100 days? Not much.
Big freaking deal. The ethics guidelines were a joke, the withdrawal from Iraq was an utter disaster, and he never closed Gitmo.Obama's accomplishments after the first 100 days included signing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 relaxing the statute of limitations for equal-pay lawsuits;[7] signing into law the expanded State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP), which the White House said provided benefits to 4 million additional working families; winning approval of a congressional budget resolution that put Congress on record as dedicated to dealing with major health care reform legislation in 2009; implementing new ethics guidelines designed to significantly curtail the influence of lobbyists on the executive branch; breaking from the Bush administration on a number of policy fronts, except for Iraq, in which he followed through on Bush's Iraq withdrawal of U.S. troops;[8] supporting the UN declaration on sexual orientation and gender identity; and lifting the 7½-year ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.[9] He also ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, in Cuba, though it remains open, as well as lifted some travel and money restrictions to the island.[8]
Oh well because he hasn't talked about it in a week or so, he won't do it.And what happened to his HUGE infrastructure plan?
He doesn't even talk about that any more.
This was last year's budget, and I'll give serious odds that things will be very different in the next one.The new budget deal has no money for the wall, no provision to remove funding for sanctuary cities, and it leaves the EPA's budget that 45 wanted to cut intact.
It boosts the National Institutes of Health budget, which he also wanted to cut, and does NOT cut funding for Planned Parenthood, which he promised to do.
So far he has caved on more of his promises than he has kept.
Why BTW is perfectly fine with me.
I hope he continues to do that.
Gloat all you want. Your party's base will be gradually defunded, continuing its collapse.
