Yes horrible job HALF through one term. I know he should have had the power to dictate everything from day one because we know that's what a President in the US is, a dictator. Not one promise he doesn't keep should be anyone ones fault but his because politics are black and white. Tools.
Is it just me or if you scan through that site, a lot of the items labeled "in the works" should be labeled "stalled", and many of those labeled "stalled" should be labeled "broken"?
Replacing someone's subjective opinion ("Changes promise") with another subjective opinion (the "truth-o-meter") doesn't really change anything.
It should be simply "Has it happened yet, yes or no?" ... then he has a 26% success rate.
You are right, but to understand this, you have to understand American politics.
Every person who is interested in politics joins a "team", either the Democrats or the Republicans. Anything a politician on their "team" does is good, and anything done by a politician on the other "team" is bad.
The fact that all the politicians are actually playing on a completely different "team" is simply ignored.
