While campaigning for the presidency Obama promised to make all sorts of changes. Most of those promises have been broken. His most notable change was to become the first president to openly side with the Palestinians in their conflict with Israel, contrary to what he promised in his speeches to Jewish voters.
On April 29, 2011, Obama toured the tornado-ravaged parts of the South. "We are going to do everything we can to help these communities rebuild," Obama told reporters in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
On Sunday, Obama toured the tornado-ravaged parts of Joplin, Missouri. He told an audience of survivors, "We're not going to stop 'til Joplin's back on its feet. I promise you your country will be there with you every single step of the way."
The victims of the Joplin tornado better not hold their collective breaths. On Sunday, NBC News reported that, except for the removal of debris, the tornado-ravaged part of Tuscaloosa looked exactly the same as it did one month ago when Obama made his promise to help rebuild the storm-devastated communities of the South. Several residents interviewed, including an angry black lady, said Obama has not done a damn thing for Tuscaloosa.
