It's been one week since The One swept into office on his battle cry of "Change!" and Fox News has started to count-up the campaign promises he has already broken.
Lobbyists. Obama promised that "There will be no lobbyists anywhere near my administration!" Per Fox, his campaign has already labeled that promise "no longer operative" and is recruiting lobbyists as fast as it can to "facilitate the transition." But "only for the first year." Uh-huh. Sure.
Green automobiles. Obama promised to make all cars sold in the U.S. meet California's psychotic Leftist emission standards. Oops. Today his transition team revealed that, well, that might not be an obtainable goal, so that promise is out the window, too, but "Obama will continue to work on it."
Energy independence. Obama promised to destroy both the coal and nuclear power industries "for the good of the planet." Now, just a week into his transition, The One is warning that this may not be doable, either, on the road to "energy independence by 2018" through using new technologies ad naquada generators and dillithium crystal chambers. Oopsie. Better hold on to that Hummer.
The Evil Bush War on Terrorism Orders. Obama promised to end all of Bush's "abuses of executive power such as the Patriot Act, attacking terrorists in other countries, and invading citizens' privacy through wire taps." Today, however, The Messiah announced that he'd, in fact, "keep those executive orders that would give him the most flexibility in ruling." (Note: "ruling? Does he think he's King?)
Ending private ownership of firearms. Well, maybe he was too carried away by the campaign. Never mind.
And let’s not overlook the “scrubbed” Obama Messiah webpage.
Good to see Obama making his own base mad now... LOL...
He doesn’t need lobbyists. Just look who he is surrounding himself with ... Clintonistas!
Looks like that dumb broad on YouTube is going to have to buy her own damn gas and pay her own damn mortgage. LOL!!!
Ok, this is twice that the term “rule” has been used.
Is there a link to a quote of that?
So this is why the coal miners voted for him. They knew he was lieing.
Those wise words also apply to some "romantic" situations I have known.......
No taxes on those making under $300K. No, $250K. Make that $200K. How about $150K. Perhaps $120K. No, $100K. Oops, $60K. This time for sure, $50K. Never mind. The final answer is $40K.
All other promises, etc. were campaign talk. The tax plan is the one that matters.
GOOD!! I can’t wait to see Pelosi and Hussein fighting in the White House like a bunch of children.

Wait until he starts taxing welfare and food stamps.
Watching out for any 2nd Amendment stuff is paramount to taxes, IMO.
What about his promise for free Zero Point Modules (ZPM) for everybody?

I know this has been mentioned before, but the repeated use of the word rule, ruling is worrisome. I’ve never heard any American govt leader use that word or phrase in any relation to governing. I know we find it amusing that he uses these words, but if it keeps up it will be more than troubling.
I have dubbed this "Barack's Roulette Wheel of Wealth"....where she stops, nobody knows...
The two of them have already started butting heads. Barry’s lack of respect for women plus an unwillingness to share the stage should be fun when Nancy is added to the mix.
A politician not doing what they said they would do? No? I cant believe this, they are such men of integrity, how could this be?! Obama is an empty suit and the Clinton’s are going to be running this campaign. You ever wonder why Hilary didn’t bash his black brains all over the campaign trail???
