Few promises kept by Obama so far

Of the 895 campaign promises that Barack Obama pledged, only 3 of the dozen concerning the housing crisis have been met during his first 100 days in office, according to ForeclosureListings.com

More from the group's release:
During his presidential campaign, Obama promised to cut taxes for all but the wealthiest citizens while also placing the country on the path of fiscal responsibility resulting in a "net spending cut."

Difficult choices would be required but so far, the new administration has presented the country with a budget that will double the country's national debt within 5 years and triple the debt in 10 years, says Kevin Simpson, from http://www.ForeclosureListings.com.

Obama stated again recently that he wants to make permanent the tax cuts for middle class but those expire in only two years, while his promises to cut taxes for small business have been postponed at least until he is no longer in office.
