  1. a lot of those are pretty vague, it's not whether he will do them it's the extent to which they are emphasized in his presidency
  2. I'm gonna go with 0%. He'll hopefully end up being alot more center right than advertised.
  3. NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like i said before: he is a liar!
  4. Target every source of fear in the Americas - wow, people who fear spiders or midgets are in luck!
  5. This is a huge list, but there is no reason to believe that Obama will fail to address any of these issues while in office. Keep in mind that the implementation of these goals and promises sits on the shoulders of Congress. Much of what is on this list has been presented to our lawmakers in the past, and typically shot down by our Republican senators and representatives.
  6. I don't like Obama, but if he can bring about 100% of this list, I too will vote for him in 2012. 100%
