I remember it well!

1n 1968 Richard Milhous Nixon was elected to the Presidency of the United States and that success was based in most part on his promise that he had a Secret Plan to end the war in Viet Nam and if elected he would put his plan into action immediately.

The reason I recall it so vividly was that he kept his Plan a complete secret and promised only to reveal that secret if elected.

That enraged me as friends of mine were dying every day and I saw him keeping his plan a secret as Treasonable. What, are voters to be fooled? I thought the bastard should have been behind bars waiting for his Big day.

But that really didn't matter as the majority of the voters elected him as President and just as Obama today his promises were never kept.

Well he did eventually keep his main promise but only after he was reelected in 1972 for a second term and that again on a promise to enact his original secret plan. I couldn't believe it!

That was when we learned his secret plan was to give up the fight in Viet Nam and withdraw in defeat.

Dam what a plan and it only took him five years to make it happen.

So I'm not surprised that Obama won the election and that based on his promise to withdraw our troops from Iraq, to reduce taxes on 95% of Americans, to make peace with Iran and North Korea, to take what has been closed meetings in Congress to C-SPAN, to clean out Washing DC of crooked lobbyists, to close Gitmo, to keep unemployment from rising above 8% and to stimulate and reinvigorate the economy and do all that and more in his first year of office.

Now, do I expect a repeat of 1972 in 2012. Don't ask.
