A warm bucket of spit.

Here is a list on one day's worth of Obama campaign promises, ONE day's worth, mind you - July 7th, 2008

1.) So when I'm President, I'll shut down the corporate loopholes and tax havens,

1a.) and I'll use the money to help pay for a middle-class tax cut that will provide $1,000 of relief to 95% of workers and their families.

2.) We'll also eliminate income taxes for every retiree making less than $50,000 per year, because every senior deserves to live out their life in dignity and respect.

3.) if you're a family making less than $250,000, my plan will not raise your taxes-not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.

4.) I'll also help families who are struggling under the crushing burden of health care costs by passing a plan that brings the typical family's premiums down by $2500

4a.) and guarantees coverage to everyone who wants it.

5.) I'll establish a Credit Card Bill of Rights that will ban unilateral changes to credit card agreements;

5a.) ban rate hikes on debt people already had;

5b.) and ban interest charges on late fees.

6.) I'll also reform our bankruptcy laws to make sure that if you can demonstrate that you went bankrupt because of medical expenses, you can relieve that debt and get back on your feet.

7.) To make saving easier, we'll automatically enroll every worker in a workplace pension plan that stays with you from job to job.

8.) And for working families who earn under $75,000, we will start that nest egg by matching 50 percent of the first $1,000 you save

8a.) and depositing it directly into their account.

9.) To make a college education affordable for every American family, we'll provide $4,000 of tuition if students will provide community or national service when they graduate.

10.) To make it easier for families to own their own home and stay in that home, we'll crack down on predatory lenders,

11.) help more Americans refinance their mortgages,

12.) and provide ten million homeowners a mortgage tax credit that will take ten percent off their interest rate.

13.) To help those mothers and fathers who are juggling work and family, I'll expand the Child Care Tax Credit.

14.) extend the Family Medical Leave Act,

15.) and make sure that every worker in America has access to seven days of paid sick leave.

16.) I'll make sure that women get equal pay for an equal day's work.

17.) And to help those families who own small businesses that are the engine of prosperity in America, I will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-ups and small businesses to encourage more innovation and job creation.

18.) all my new spending proposals would be more than paid for by spending reductions.

19.) I have a plan to responsibly end the war in Iraq

20.) and reduce overpayments for private plans in Medicare

21.) I would also curb subsidies to banks making student loans.

22.) return earmarks to their 2001 levels

23.) and reform no-bid contracts.

24.) I'll make the sun rise in the west and set in the east.

Well, yes, I made up #24, but ALL the rest are the campaign promises Obama made in a single day. This list does not include all the campaign promises Obama made on other days, to other audiences.

To paraphrase Herbert Hoover (regarding the vice presidency), Obama's promises aren't worth a bucket of warm spit.
