About this Blog

This blog is dedicated to President Barack Hussein Obama's oft-repeated desire to be held accountable. I am honored to fulfill his wish, and I will do it in two ways. I will examine the consequences, should he mean exactly what he says, and I will compare his words with established facts. His direct quotations will be used wherever possible.
