Unfortunately there is no way, no how that President Obama can keep any of his campaign promises. He is the candidate of change..changing his mind. Even though the media is denying it, Wall Street plummetted for 2 days after he was elected, and I do believe it is because of his election. There is no way company stocks are worth 10% less in 2 days. So it is not a company issue. President Obama was clear in his acceptance speech that we should not expect him to do any of the things he promissed to do even in his first term in office. That is a warning sign to everyone that, yes he will listen, but NO he CANNOT. It is unfortunate that 52% of the voters believed campaign promises instead of looking at his record, his resume. It is great that he has charisma, can get votes, money, etc., but it is sad that nothing will be accomplished in his term as president. If he decreases troops in Iraq, he will only increase troops in Afghanistan..that is a wash. Iran will wreak havoc on Iraq, they have already promised to do so. I truly hope I am wrong, but so far I was right when I said the stock market would go down after his election, and I was right when I said he would reverse his position about making changes and getting things done. He says give him time. Time is something we really don't have a lot of. Hope and change...we have both.
