On the contrary....

I think she is pointing out that Obama is the one that is full of excrement. Despite what he promised, he has pretty much delivered what many of us thought he would.
Despite his rhetoric, he has been a divisive ideologue who has told his opponents to shut up, we were the problem. And yet, having been totally rebuked by voters in midterm elections, probably the only people who have accomplished less in the past 6 years than Obama, are the republicans who were sent to Washington to reverse his policies.
Pretty much the only thing he is good for is talking and campaigning. Beyond that, there is little substance.

Not my argument

what I was saying was, when Obama was running, Ingrahm painted him as an unrepentant socialist. Now, when she's promoting her candidate, DJT, she's painting him as someone who ran as a different person than she claimed him to be at the time.
Obama was for Obamacare on the campaign trail. He was for getting out of Iraq on the campaign trail and now one of Trump's biggest slams on him is about getting out of Iraq.
No modern president has ever done all the things they promised to do. It's not possible. Trump won't either.
But my point is that she paints Obama as a person that presented himself in a way that she would support and the truth is she would never have supported him under any circumstances.

and I know for a fact she didn't support him. She cited things he said then, no? I think it's a little more than "keeping his promises." Of course they all break promises. It is whether he intended to keep his promises.
There was a lot of argument as to whether Obama was middle-of-the-road or another leftist. The argument took place here, often. And yet, I know there is still disagreement as to that perception even today.
We know one of the first things he did was cram Obamacare down our throats, which is turning out pretty much like the naysayers said. In fact, much evidence has turned up that this was the intended outcome so that we can get to a single payer system. Without regard to the merit of single payer, this too was forecasted by opponents.
Knowing that Laura did not support Obama and adding the context of the article, she is saying that Obama is full of it. He fought against the Clintons, did what the Clintons would have done, and is now supporting the Clintons to continue them. Seems like a pretty solid argument to me.
