27. Yes.
Did he promise to continue the occupation of Iraq and Afhganistan?
Yes, he did. He promised to leave Iraq over the course of 16-18 months, leaving military advisers for training, and promised to send those troops to Afghanistan instead.

Did he promise to by-pass qualified Democrats to appoint Republican ideologues to office?
Yes, he did. He promised to appoint qualified Republicans to office as well as qualified Democrats.

Did he promise to sabotage single-payer health care?
Yes, he did. He never once suggested he would be in favor of a single-payer system. No Democrat, save Kucinich, did in the 2008 primaries.

Did he promise to shove the GLBT community under the bus?
Yes, he did. He said explicitly that he was in favor of civil unions and not gay marriage. So did every candidate but, again, Kucinich.

Did he tell us he was going to empty the treasury into the pockets of bankers?
Yes, he did. He voted for the first bank bailout, and committed himself to ensuring that the nation's financial engine didn't collapse the same way it did in 1929.

Did he tell us he was going to cover up for torturers?
No, because he's doing no such thing.
