Obama's Jobs Bill May Get Tweaked To Pick Up Democratic Votes

Obama hasn't turned on any of his promises. He just haven't had time to get to a lot of them. His hands have been completely full and his plate is overrun with crises of all kinds. Plus his team has NOT disbanded grass roots groups and I don't know why you're saying that. I know a lot about politics and I know that you're saying a lot of stuff that's just not true.

==========­==========­=======

You don't know what you're talking about.

Even Politifact­, which cuts Obama much slack and games how it determines the number of promises broken by putting them in a kind of 'pending status', has his broken promises' number at 49.

Your statement that Obama hasn't had time is one of the more abzurd declaratio­ns ever uttered around here.  Do you think Obama does government all by himself, alone?  Do you realize the sheer number of people just in the White House, much less the entire executive branch of government­, who work to carry out the president'­s agenda?  

 By the way, if you think Obama is overworked and spends all of his time working on the People's matters, you ought to look at his day-to-day schedule going back to 1/20/09.  He, like Bush, is not exactly what my mother-in-­law used to call "an earner".  

On any typical day, he begins at around 10:00 am and knocks off by 5:00 pm, M-F (and many Fridays he's off), having dinner with Michelle and the kids and then enjoying some entertainm­ent.  His days are spent meeting with staff (only for a couple of hours) and then he's doing some ceremonial photo-op and/or fund-raisi­ng.   

We also know too, that like Bush, he's into physical activity, playing basketball daily and golfing frequently­.  I don't begrudge him the perks of the office, but let's not make claims that simply aren't true.  Obama set out on a course and issued orders 3 years ago to let corporate lobbyists hold the reins and that's where he left it.  He hasn't been changing what hasn't worked (like HAMP or PCIP).  He's been kicking cans down the road, stalling as much as is humanly possible (as does Congress), governing as if the job is really about marking time, keeping the status quo in place while holding onto the ball (the office itself) as long as possible (getting reelected)­.
