It’s quickly becoming more a question of which promises will President Obama keep, if any, rather than which ones will he break.

As both a candidate and as president, Obama has pledged many times he will not raise taxes on the middle class, yet the president embraces a health care bill that will do just that.

Candidate Obama promised a new era of transparency, offering to air health care negotiations on C-SPAN. Obviously that is not going to be a promise kept either.

And now, despite renewed pledges over the past several months to reign in the nation’s deficit, it is becoming increasingly clearer that in the face of a failed economic policy and unbridled federal spending, the pledge to cut the deficit will be added to the list of promises not kept.

As Nancy Pelosi pointed out for us just yesterday there are a number of promises Obama made on the campaign trail that will not be kept. The question is will there be any promises he actually keeps?
