November 4, 2012, 03:33PM Five hundred retired generals and admirals are running an ad in Monday's editions of The Washington Times calling on the country to elect Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday.
In plain terms the officers, who paid for the ad themselves, said they support Mr. Romney: "We, the undersigned, proudly support Governor Mitt Romney as our nation's next president and commander-in-chief."
The ad then goes on to list all of the officers, in alphabetical order, in four columns of print.

In his latest television ad President Obama makes four new promises to the American people. But before Americans assess Obama’s plan for a new “economic patriotism” they should check to see how will Obama has fulfilled the promises he made the last time he was asking for their votes.
Jobs Obama promise: “If we create a new energy economy, we can create five million new jobs, easily, here in the United States.” Obama reality: U.S. economy has lost 261,000 jobs since Obama became president.
Spending Obama promise: “Actually I’m cutting more than I’m spending so that it will be a net spending cut.” Obama reality: Federal spending is up 27 percent since Obama became president and will be up 40 percent by 2016 if he is reelected.
Debt Obama promise: “I’m pledging to cut the deficit by half by the end of my first term in office.
According to Politifact Obama has done quite well keeping his promises.
The Obameter Scorecard:
Promise Kept 193 (38%) Compromise 79 (16%) Promise Broken 88 (17%) Stalled 44 (9%) In the Works 102 (20%) Not yet rated 2 (0%)

Every Politician in the US has made bazillion promises before actually getting into office, only to realize they had no ability to keep 90% of what they promised, but figure, "OH WELL...SH1T HAPPENS!", and they move on. I have no doubt many of them, including Obama, actually meant well and really did have the desire to fulfill their promises. But in Washington, there are too many stupid political roadblocks that wil prevent this from happening.
I hope Romney does not win, but if he does, let's see how he does with his prmises. Especially the one that he said he would balance the budget in 10 years...interesting...two terms woul dbe 8 years, so he would be out of office when this balancing was suppossedly to take place!!! TRICKY MITTY !!!!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
Reps deserve to lose running this clown. If the Reps put their money and power behind Gary Johnson you've got a new president. Great choice picking the guy that created Obama care to run against Obama care. If you voted for Romney you really wasted your vote.
