Lie by Lie
President Obama may end up being a good President, but he, like almost all modern presidents, has lied his way into office. During the campaign, the President made over 500 promises (check out his progress on those promises at the St. Petersburg Times). How could he keep them all? He can’t. I continued to tell people during the campaign that he made way too many promises and was therefore untrustworthy.
With a $410 billion bill on his desk, do you think he is going to follow this promise from the first deb ate: “Absolutely, we need earmark reform. And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” As soon as that came out of his mouth, I immediately called him a liar. First of all, budget bills are thousands of pages long and he is going to read through that line by line? Secondly, not one Senator or Representative goes through an entire budget bill. NOT ONE, and the President is going to go through it line by line?
There is about $10 billion dollars of pet projects in this bill and the President will not be going through the bill line by line. Two promises broken with one stroke of the pen. I guess it is a case of the pen being mightier than the promise.
