Liveblog Debate: Has Obama fulfilled his promises?

A year ago, Barack Obama won a historic campaign on the back of his many promises to revive the U.S. Do you think he's accomplished what he set out to do so far? Or is he disappointing Americans? Read through the liveblog to see what was discussed.

Barack Obama was elected president on Nov. 4, 2008, becoming the first African-American to reach the highest office in the land, an unlikely candidate fulfilling a once-impossible dream. During the 2008 campaign, Obama inspired hope in millions of Americans and people around the world, while his critics said he was all fluff and no substance. A year-plus since the election, hope and inspiration has given way to the daily grind of governance, with fans and detractors arguing on whether Obama is turning the U.S. around from its blue-red divide, the recent recession, and its foreign policy controversies. His oratory made grown men cry in the 2008 campaign, yet today his speeches are pleading for cooperation from both sides of the political camp. Many hard choices face Obama, but has he done what he promised Americans? In our monthly liveblog debate, people discussed this weighty matter. Do you think Obama is on the right track?
