I have to say it, but all during the campaign, I said that then-Sen. Barack Obama was the biggest fraud, phony, and faker in our political history. I regret to report I was right on target.
He said he was against pork barrel project, pet projects, and earmarks. And the first budget bill on his watch has between 8,000 and 9,000 earmarks. And President Obama says its old business so he’s going to let it pass.
It’s the spending to take place on his watch, so he can’t let it by without breaking a key campaign promise. How can he get away with such a weak excuse? This has got to be one of the great moments in political double talk, promise breaking, and just plain old hypocrisy, fraud and phoniness. He could and should veto the bill.
Why won’t he veto the bill? Because Mr. Obama doesn’t want to offend the Democratic Congress, which wants to feed at the public trough, with the greatest pork-barreling splurge, earmarking frenzy and pet project feast in the history of the U.S. Don’t expect political courage from Mr. Obama. He wouldn’t even stand up to the corrupt Chicago (Cook County) political machine when called to do so. Don’t expect him to show a profile in courage any time soon.

You know, Barry did say he would not SIGN a bill that contained earmarks.
That kicks his “old business” argument out the window.
In all honesty, I have to admit that I was wrong about Obama.
Things are much worse than even I imagined they would be.
I still am baffled how so many voters could fail to see this.
Obama is a communist, a student from the Saul Alinsky school of communism philosophy.
Mr. Obama doesn’t want to offend the Democratic Congress,guess who’s OWNED yes miss nancy ....
Obama, is not a single attack or event, he's a continuous assault on all the Founders of this Republic stood for...
I could blame the media, schools, or a lazy spoiled generation, but in the end its all our faults.
We have to be stronger and find our way, to never let this happen again.
I was never so hurt,mad and sad at one moment, then when a 27 yr old man told me, that everything I create, build or save is his too, Obama will give it to me.
Needless to say I had to leave or explode.
