Obama's Promises?

One of my classmates wrote an article called “Change we can(‘t) believe in" I had a few opinions of my own so I responded to his article with this:

There have definitely been many promises of fixing our nation that have been said, yet not been fulfilled. I think that you are right by saying it is upsetting the American citizens. I've ran into numerous amounts of people who say, and I agree, that Obama talks with great poise and confidence, which make people want to believe him. As he does in the "change we can believe in speech," giving people of the nation hope. He makes it seem that it’s as easy as waving a magic want or wiggling your nose in order to correct all problems. However, they become disappointed when he doesn't fulfill his promises, just as you mentioned. For example, on a website called opposingviews.com  it states that “The President promised an era of transparency and open government, but instead caved under the gun lobby’s radical agenda and influence. The result is that more American communities will continue to suffer from the horrific toll of gun violence.” On another website named npr.org, it talks about the foreign policy not being fulfilled. That Obama stated he would “attack ‘high value’ terrorists in Pakistan even without Pakistani approval.” What change have we seen that he is keeping is word? Nothing really… All in all, Obama needs to stop placing false hope in the hearts of Americans and maybe we all would applaud him a little more.
