Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of broken election promises (United States)
The article, as scoped now, is  and an edit war waiting to happen.  There have indeed been some cases where, even by  standards, the '''major theme''' of a presidential campaign was a specific promise that was clearly unmet by the administration.  Franklin Roosevelt in 1940 is a prime example: If I recall correctly, he was campaigning keeping America out of World War II, when it's been documented that he was trying every way he could get away with to get the U.S. involved.  Woodrow Wilson ("He Kept Us Out of War") had a similar problem in 1916, though he genuinely believed the US had no reason to become entangled until Germany started sinking Americans.  However, a list of clear cases might actually be too '''short''' for a Wikipedia list.  Also, this article has gone a year and a half without references on something that certainly needs it; and, in the form it is now, I'm surprised it hasn't been "discovered" and descended into an edit war repeatedly yet.  (As for CSD: As the article stands right now, it's barely #g10 &mdash; serves no purpose but to disparage or threaten its subject.  Comments about the Bushes are still , technically
