The Obama administration is opposing an Illinois law that helped ensnare Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) in a federal indictment for corruption.

Ethics watchdogs charge that in opposing a law intended to prevent politically connected companies from unfairly winning government contracts, President Obama has gone against promises he made during the presidential race.

The List, ping

I wish someone would start a list of everytime Hussein breaks a campaign promise. It must already be quite long.

‘I wish someone would start a list of everytime Hussein breaks a campaign promise. It must already be quite long.”

I think the only one not broken is that he would raise taxes. however he did lie about who he would raise them on.

Thanks :)

Ominous indication of future intentions? Sure

Surprising, coming from a democrat? H*ll no.

[mrsmel]

Maybe it would be simpler to have a list of what promises he hasn't broken.

Of course Barry opposes such: Chicago/Illinois politics as usual and uninterrupted. I would go one step further and say that Barry is behind why some high members of the House and Senate are opposing investigations into ACORN....and its real connection to Barry, etc.

You don't know what you're talking about! The Obamassiah has NEVER broken a promise! Clearly it is your memory that is at fault, or some of that Right Wing Extremist™ talking points that you are regurgitating...

Not surprising at all
he won’t miss a chance to cover his azz or
his azz-kissers.

I was ashamed by Clintons behavior.

I’m disgusted and afraid of what BO is doing. He hates whites and he hates America.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Really, if you would just go ahead and genuflect in front of the Obamassiah, and become a card-carrying member of ACORN then you too can reap the rewards of the Obamassiah's America!

[driftdiver]

In other words join the Party.

I BET they are. Don’t want to get caught in that web.

That or sell your soul! Personally, I chose to do neither and “went Galt” back just before the election... We’ll see what’s left of the America that used to be when 2012 comes around!

That stench you smell is Obummer reeking of the taint of Chicago corruption.

[popdonnelly]

Without corruption, how could the Democrats flourish. I don’t know what’s worse, their dishonesty or their hypocrisy. They always howl and whine about the “culture of corruption”. The Democrats are a collection of phonies who will do and say anything.

[driftdiver]

There was a story a couple weeks ago that corruption caused the average person in Illinois just over $100 a year.

I’d wager its more like $100 a week.

that image is enough to make a sane person vomit
