The non-partisan answer is: Of course not. It takes an astonishing degree of naiveté to believe any professional politician's campaign promises. That said, I don't know if it's entirely fair to blame Obama for flip-flopping on Net neutrality: remember there was an appeals court decision slapping down the FCC's silly regs in between. That left the FCC with less room for regulatory adventurism. Also the FCC is nominally, at least, an independent FedGov agency and not part of the executive branch in the same way that DoD, DoE, DoT, etc. are. It is fair to blame Obama for flip-flopping on other promises, such as retroactive immunity for companies that illegally opened their networks to NSA spying.
