Obama, broken vows and re-election
US President Barack Obama has launched his campaign for the 2012 presidential election, urging his supporters to continue backing his first-term policies -- although he failed to live up to most of his promises. In a video posted on his official website and an e-mail to supporters on Monday morning, Obama announced his intention to stand for a second term in office. Obama's official bid for his second term in the White House starts 20 months before the November 2012 election. In his 2008 campaign Obama vowed to repeal Bush tax cuts, close Guantanamo and bring American troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan. However, he failed to deliver on any of those promises.
Stephen Lendman: Obama's Terror War on Libya - As President, Obama broke all [his] pledges, including every major one, delivering betrayal, not populist change. Make no mistake. His imperial ambitions are reckless, duplicitous, unscrupulous, and lawless - mindless of vital homeland needs and priorities, notably for America's growing millions in poverty or heading there, denied help to wage global wars, bail out Wall Street, and benefit other corporate favorites. As a result, he accelerated America's decline, heading the nation for tyranny and ruin.
