Fair enough, but the deficit still hasn't been halved
It hasn't. You are definitely correct about that. Of course, if we only look at basic statements without the context surrounding them, we'd be doing ourselves a big disservice.
Imagine if the Bush tax cuts had been allowed to expire. Imagine if the jobs bills the Democrats have pushed for had brought additional jobs. Imagine...
So, the one term proposition was about TARP and that has expired
So you agree Obama should be a two term President, correct?
but the bigger more important issue is he still should be held accountable for not doing what he said he would do.
Is he equally as accountable for things he's done that he said he was going to do? Because when we check the PolitiFact promise checker, it's clear Obama has succeeded much more than he's failed.

So do we also hold him accountable for things he said he was going to do and was successful in? Or is it only a one way street for you? Because if that's the case, then you cannot vote for Mitt Romney because already know for a fact some of the things he says he's going to do cannot logistically be done.
If I tell my employer I'm going to raise net sales by 2% this year then I better damn well do it or be prepared to be held accountable. He said he would cut it in half and he hasn't.
He also said 192 other things, all of which he kept. He said an additional 76 things he compromised on. Another 107 things that are currently being worked on.
Why is it you only want to hold him accountable for one thing, and ignore all others? Not to mention, completely ignore the context surrounding that one thing you claimed he didn't do?
Once again not a Republican I am an independent, but I guess if I'm not a Democrat then I must be a Republican.
Well, here's the deal. You're someone who doesn't check facts, you have ignorantly criticized the President, you ignore context of the situations you blame him for...what else would I call you?
Hey, if you want to criticize Obama for vilifying teachers, go for it. He did do that. If you want to blame him for not repealing Patriot Act or signing the NDAA this year, go for it, he did do that. If you want to criticize him for looking completely unprepared in this year's debate, go for it, he did do that. If you want to criticize him for advancing the civil rights of homosexuals despite protests from roughly half the country, go for it, he did do that too.
I wouldn't care which side you took, as long as you knew what you were talking about and presented the arguments as objectively as possible. I think the few political discussions I've had with Shocky prove that. But you haven't done that. Not in this thread, not in the Prison thread we debated in, never to the best of my knowledge.
I am not a Democrat. I will never be a member of any party. What I do is try to be the most objective I can and evaluate each situation based upon the knowledge I have of the situation. If that's what you do, and you vote against Obama, I have no problem with that. But when you just regurgitate Republican speaking points, completely ignorant to the truth of them, then what else would you expect me to call you?
