This is actually kind of funny, as Politifact has been keeping track of President Obama’s promises long before the Saturday Night Live skit. Politifact even added to faux-Obama’s list:
Obama has also broken some promises that Saturday Night Live did not mention. There’s No. 240,Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials; No. 234, Allow five days of public comment before signing bills; and No. 24, End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000. See the full list of promises we’ve rated Promise Broken.
“So please stop saying this country is on the road to socialism,” Armisen-Obama concluded. “If that were actually the case, I’d be making some real changes. Instead it took me four months to pick out a dog.”
Actually, we found it took Obama five months to fulfill promise No. 502, Get his daughters a puppy.
