Obama breaks first promise

POLITIFACT, a project of the St. Petersburg Times in the U.S. to help Americans find the truth in politics, has been tracking President Barack Obama’s 510 campaign promises through the Obameter and said yesterday that he has broken his first vow.

According to Politifact, President Obama broke his promise to post bills on the White House website and give a five-day comment before signing them.

But he didn’t’ do that when he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act on Jan. 29, keeping a longstanding promise to counter a Supreme Court decision that limited workers’ ability to sue for pay discrimination.

“As part of his agenda to bring more transparency to government, Obama said he would institute “sunlight before signing” -- posting laws to the White House website for five days of public comment before he signed off on them.

The Ledbetter Act was passed two days ago, yet the request for public comment was posted after he signed the bill. For that, he earns his first Promise Broken,” Politifact stated in its website.

Was in such a hurry to back up one longstanding promise that he fumbled another

1-1...not a bad day at the office, especially compared to the goof he replaced

:nono5::nono5: No No No not so fast. Remember this goof was elected on hope and change. He was the one proudly telling everyone to believe in him. Hope and change hope and change. LOL.

By the way why don'y we just chase out more businesses from this country. LOL Like this is a big problem at the moment. I thought Obama was smart yet this is one of the first things he does. Way to put it to businesses and get the lawyers paid off. Go figure


Hope and change my ass.

sidenote: no wonder the libs don't care about raising taxes....they don't pay them anyway.

I have always been fasincated by people's obessions with Dems and Repubs.

It is like pro/college sports. Florida and UGA fans yell and attempt basically kill each other, while the players compete and are friendly after the game. Samething in politics. If a Rep/Dem does something good or bad the other said goes ape shit, but at the end of the day, the joke is on all of us and those idiots who are not in the top 1% that support these scumbags.

Regardless of which party is in office, I always hope they do well, it is better for all of us who reside in the US and the rest of the world.

We always knew a large part of their base didn't pay taxes. What we're just learning is that their high income elected officials don't like paying their fair share either.

But the fucking clueless wonders lineup to take other peoples' money
