Americans  will go to the polls on November 8 to cast a vote on who will lead the  nation over the next 4 years. The choice will be between President  Barack Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

As  voters prepare over the next 6 months researching each of the  candidates and the positions on the issues, voters will be able to make  an informed decision.

The  Associate Press has compiled a litst of, what is current at this time,  promises made, kept, fulfilled and broken by the President.

From  the Cornfield, it is up to the voters to decide if this list matters or  not. Each individual must make his or her own determination as to the  weight of the promises kept or unkept on his or her decision on whom to  cast a vote.
