I beleive Buckmans post was meant for you to look at what O said he would do and then compare to what he HAS done, in the brief time he has been president, a few GLARING examples (taken as fact fo JohnnyD)

1.End the Practice of Writing Legislation Behind Closed Doors: As president, Barack Obama will restore the American people's trust in their government by making government more open and transparent.

RIJ - the stimulus bill was drafted behind closed doors by a few democrat congressmen. there were numerous and costly pieces of junk, that many of you have acknowledged, and O has said there is no wasteful sepnding or earmarks in the bill. Seems pretty clear to me he broke promise 1.

2.Sunlight Before Signing: Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them. As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.

RIJ - I am pretty sure he will classify the stiumlus as "emergency" but I think spending close to a trillion $ is a bill the public should review and gets to the very heart to what Obama was trying to do. I guarantee he will not.

Maybe it would be beneficial for you to review his promises and what he has done in a VERY short amount of time......
