So you have to throw out the first three.

We will see on 4 & 5.

He has already kept multiple campaign promises - shall we list those?
the first is silly? He said "NO" on national tv on Meet the Press when asked in 2007 by Russert, "Are you running for President?" He wasnt coy, he didnt do that little deferral that politicians do. He said No, I am not running for president. While I suppose that we all have the right to change our minds he did do the exact opposite of what he said.

He said on more than one occasion that he would immediately withdraw the troops from Iraq usually followed up by wild cheering and him taking bows. I guess his version of immediate changed once the reality of the situation hit him.

You think he has acted bipartisan? Exactly what has he done that would be considered remotely bipartisan? Even the most liberal of liberals would have a hard time keeping a straight face on that one.

What do you mean we will see on #4 and #5? Do you ever actually read a paper other than the USA today? He has already taken the same stance as the Bush administration has on Executive power through his Justice Dept.

And earmarks? LOL I suppose that you missed the budget last week.....Yeah he'll get bipartisan tough on those....yeah sure he will

I never read USA Today.

Do you ever listen to anything other than Fox News?

but you link to it....

Sure I listen to all sorts of things. Why is that anyone that refuses to follow along the liberal path is considered Rush Limbaugh or Fox News junkies? Do you read the Economist?. Or the Wall Street Journal? Or Financial Times or Money or Inc or Kiplingers or watch CNN or Cnbc or Fox business or a million other shows that are both liberal and conservative? Hell come to the table with something other than the typical liberal rhetoric about Fox news.

next thing you'll tell me that the mainstream media isnt left leaning...

Yeah, I linked to USA Today for this. I found their article far more objective and educational than the FoxNews article containing nothing but political whinings.

Do you see everyone that doesn't agree with you as a liberal? I don't see it as black and white as you seem to.

Yes, I read WSJ almost daily, and hit on Money or Inc when I can. I watch CNN, CNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC. I sometimes even look at Huffington Post and Fox News (there's two extremes). Yes, I think the general media leans more left than right.

I consider Fox News a completely crappy, laughable and factually unreliable "news" organization. They are a 24-hour ultra-conservative politically-motived blog. I would no more get my "news" from Fox than I would Huff Post. Yes, I find them both useful for editorial content views.

You must not be retaining any of the non-liberal views...

I dont how anyone could read the Wall Street Journal daily and still come up with your viewpoint which seem to be far closer to the general media than anything found in the WSJ.

I dont call everyone that doesnt agree with me a liberal. I call liberal thinking and actions liberal. Because NBC says something is objective doesnt mean it is.
