No word yet on when they will start to be open and keep any of
the promises they made related to their own administration...
Well, of the 500 campaign promises Obama made, PolitiFact.com has him
breaking only six promises, and keeping 5 pages worth. Not bad, IMO
considering he's only been in office 3 months.

Well, I don't know how they are rating it, or how they are trimming
the info to make it look good, but the important promises such as
"reaching over party lines, bills having 5 days for study, openness
about admin officials and the waivers, no lobbiests in the admin.. the
list goes on, are being ignored...



"The important promises..."

According to who? You? An uneducated dum****?


Yes, when Obama made genuine attempts to embrace the Republicans, they
spit in his face. Eric Cantor got them to agre to vote along party
lines before they even listened to Obama's pitch.

Bi-partisanship was rebuked by the R's. Now they're feeling the same
sick feeling the D's felt - only the R's never invited the D's to
participate. The R's said "**** 'em" as soon as they had the
majority.
