How is it childish? I am operating on principle here. He said x, he delivered y instead. Promise broken, period. See, if he had said, I will "try" not to do x, but I may not be 100% successful, then OK, no problem. But he came right out and said he was NOT going to do x. Make sense? If not, keep this thread in your inbox, and when the honeymoon is over and new shiny toy is not so new and shiny anymore, and we all hear the collective thud of the obamaniacs suddenly coming back to earth, then go back to it and say 'Gee, these morons were right, he is just like everyone else'. Myself, I am done with this thread. No one is going to say or do anything to make you all see reality.
