Silly you indeed. The White House projected that with the stimulus unemployment wouldn't go over 8. It did. It's now back down to a tick over 8 and the trend is falling. Please quote me the President's "promise", and after you do, please explain how it is you believe any president's "promise" regarding an economy he largely doesn't control. Did you believe RayGun's promise not to raise taxes?
Finally, Obama didn't EVER promise or even look forward to 6%. You're either deluded or making that up. Which is it? What he did say, on 9-1-11, was that he felt the unemployment rate would stay above 6% thru 2017. If you call that a "promise", you need a better dictionary.
