Study: Chimpy fulfilled less than half of his 2000 campaign promises

WASHINGTON - President Bush will end his four-year term having fulfilled about 46 percent of the promises he made during the 2000 presidential campaign, according to an analysis by Knight Ridder.

Progress on Bush's campaign to-do list - 178 specific commitments - slowed almost to halt in 2004 as election-year politics intruded on legislative activity. With time running out on his four-year contract, Bush's hopes for overhauling the nation's legal system, revamping Social Security and enacting a new national energy policy now depend on the outcome of the November election.


This list of promises was drawn from speeches and policy papers issued during Bush's first presidential campaign. It includes items large and small, with equal weight given to all. Some required congressional action. Others went into effect by executive order.

A similar Knight Ridder analysis found that, during his first term, President Clinton had fulfilled about 66 percent of the 160 commitments that he made during his first presidential campaign.

Remember, he allowed our nation to be attacked, and got us into 2 wars so far. Thousands are dead, and America has no money.

Four more years!
