Below are the highlights of the many broken promises of the obamadent as listed by a well-known political action group. I have re-written them slightly to reflect my personal disgust for this man and his minions. A "person of faith", as he has called himself, wouldn't break a promise, would he? I certainly hope all of the evil he is stirring up will lead to the ending of his Executive Usurpant status.
The obamadent ran as a centrist-liberal presidential candidate (emphasizing that 95% of Americans would get tax cuts, etc..)
Reality: the obamadent is leading the Socialist Party, a.k.a as a left-wing socialist radical president. In less than 50 days, he and his Democrat-controlled Congress have spent an incredible $1.2 trillion in pork-filled spending. It will cost Americans $24 billion a day [Can you imagine spending a billion dollars an hour?]. And he recently proposed a whopping $3.6 trillion budget on top of that. The obamadent will incur -- while he is in office -- more debt than that incurred by all former presidents put together; from President George Washington to President George W Bush!.
The obamadent said in his campaign that he would establish a post-partisan presidency. He said Americans are tired of partisan politics. I don't think that is actually the case. I think people are tired of our leaders using partisan politics as an excuse for not getting anything done.
Reality: The obamadent has established one of the most partisan presidencies in American history. His partisan chief of staff goes on Sunday talk shows and blasts Republicans for listening to Rush Limbaugh. His equally partisan press secretary likewise bashes critics of Obama at CNBC.
The obamadent said in his campaign that he would oppose earmarks or what is commonly known as pork projects in spending bills coming out of Congress.
Reality: On the very same day that he yet again blasted Congress for putting earmarks in spending bills, he signed the gargantuan 1/2 trillion (with interest) FY09 Omnibus bill with almost 9,000 pork projects. Incidentally, the obamadent also promised during his campaign that he would allow Americans to have 5 days to look at any new bill before he signs it. Yet, he signed this pork-filled bill only one day after Congress passed it.
In fact, there has been no opportunity for us to review anything, and by the way, it will always take longer than five days to review any bill. I've had the Stimulus Bill on my desk for two weeks and still I haven't finished it. I think one of the more thoughtful touches to the Omnibus Spending bill is the Congressional pay raise. Here's an observation: Omni means 'everything', a 'bus' is for carrying people. When you combine the words omni, bus, and spending, don't you get 'spending all of the people's money'?
The obamadent blasted President Bush in his presidential campaign last year for Bush's issuing signing statements when Congress sent him legislation which clarified the administration's position on the legislation including parts of the legislation the president considered unconstitutional.
Reality: Even before the date of President Bush's first signing statement issued in March 2001, Barack Hussein Obama issued his first signing statement a couple weeks earlier than in Bush's first year in office, using the same kind of reasoning as President Bush did.
The obamadent piously promised in his campaign that lobbyists would have no part in his administration in order to keep the corrupting influences of special interests out of his administration.
Reality: How can we count the ways! In countless positions in his administration, the obamadent has made an exception to the rule and nominated lobbyists for top level positions including William Lynn, the Defense Department's deputy secretary, who was registered to lobby for Raytheon, one of America's largest defense contractors.
The obamadent constantly promised during his presidential campaign that his would be the most ethical administration in history. Ethical? Really?
Reality: The obamadent has nominated for his administration, top level officials who have cheated on their taxes. Indeed, his Secretary of the Treasury -- who is in charge of the Internal Revenue Service, and thus is responsible for pursuing those who have not paid their taxes -- owed the Internal Revenue Service tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes and only paid them back when he was nominated for his post. And he's doing such a great job, too.
Finally, one of the obamadent's biggest whoppers (and I'm not talking flatulence here) -- which actually enabled him to buy the presidency -- was his November 2007 prevarication that he would only accept public financing of his presidential campaign. Senator John McCain did not accept public financing. BHO lied and won the presidency and America is suffering the results.
However, the obamadent is also beginning to suffer the results of his prevarications as evidenced by his sinking approval ratings (56% in recent polls) which are now lower than President George W. Bush's approval ratings at the same point in time of their presidencies.
We the people are the ones suffering while the obamadent is not suffering at all. If we would just end this administration now, we wouldn't need to worry about stuff like this.
