What? We we cackle at the phrase “honest politician” the same way we do “honest lawyer”. I think a site like this should exist for every president. Data is only useful if we compare apples to apples and not to oranges.

Not to mention you have to bare in mind, how many of those promises were broken or compromised because while Obama wanted to do them the congress wasn’t up for it.

Do we blame a president for going back on his word when his desires are thwarted by the legislative branch of the government?

Comprised entirely of a majority of those from his own party?
Well yeah!
