Politifact Rates Osama Bin Laden's Death As An Obama Campaign Promise 'Kept'

Politifact, which has exhaustively cataloged each and every one of President Barack Obama's campaign promises and has been ticking them off as fulfilled or failed throughout the course of his administration, have updated their page to reflect the fact that killing Osama bin Laden is a "promise kept." All well and good, but surely it is not unreasonable to hope that future occasions where a presidential candidate makes a campaign promise to kill someone will be few and far between.

Katie Hamm can consider herself to be a part of the historical firmament now, as it was her question at October 2008's "town hall" debate between Obama and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in Nashville, Tenn., that enshrined "We will kill bin Laden" as a "campaign promise."


TOM BROKAW: Senator McCain, thank you very much.
