Yes it was wrong, no one would suggest otherwise, but they have kept almost all of there other promises. Chalk it up to political inexperience or whatever, it was a promises that they shouldn't have made and they would take it back if they could but it had to be done.

But lets focus on one promise not kept instead of dozens that were.
