Seeded on Mon Apr 23, 2012 8:16 AM EDT (msnbc.com)

Are We Being Unrealistic In What We Expect ANY President To Do?
Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:44 PM EDT
Some Presidential candidates, maybe through wisdom, make less promises than others. Aside from the candidates who make grandiose claims, do the candidates really believe anymore that they can do what they say? We know that unreliable candidates make promises that they suspec …
