speaking of BS what happened to these campaign promises from 2008
Closing Guantanamo Bay
Ending rendition
Filing an immigration reform bill in his first year in office
“We will cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term.”
Cutting spending at all.
“Rally the World to Stop Global Warming.”
“I’ll force oil companies to pay a tax on their windfall profits.”
Issuing regular reports on the impact of the stimulus spending (the administration hasn’t issued the legally required quarterly report in more than a year)
What else? There are plenty more—send me yours!
“Lobbyists will not work in my White House!”
“I’ll make our government open and transparent.”’
“No more secrecy” in making laws.
“When a bill reaches my desk to be signed, you the American people will have five days to review it.”
“If you like your doctor, if you like your healthcare plan...you can keep it!”
“We will broadcast the health care negotiations on C-SPAN”’
“If you are a family making less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes go up.”
“I believe in ‘paying as you go,’ not borrowing money from China.”
