Obama's Broken Promises Stacking Up Neck Deep In No Time

When will people on the left finally admit that their Messiah is nothing more than another broken record of broken promises and in his case their piling up like dead bodies after Katrina that were all erroneously and ridiculously blamed on George Bush by crazy liberals and lazy minorities.

Who's gonna take the blame when Obama's biggest of lies told to Americans last week lead America into an unrecoverable depression thanks to the doubling of our national debt with one miserable o pen stroke on Tuesday. He will and you can bet moderates will abandon the Obama express like Barney Frank leaving a bathhouse at closing time.

$800 billion spending bill awash in broken promises:

WorldNetDaily "In the era of YouTube accountability, President Obama has been caught pledging one course of action before the election, while pursuing another once in power.

In campaign comments captured on the popular Internet video site, Obama promised that as president, 'When there's a tax bill being debated in Congress, you will know the names of the corporations that would benefit and how much money they would get, and we will put every corporate tax break and every pork barrel project online for every American to see; you will know who asked for them and you can decide whether your representative is actually representing you.'

The president's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also known as H.R. 1 or the nearly $800 billion stimulus package, however, contains massive amounts of funding widely viewed as pork barrel spending, without any account of who will benefit or who proposed it.

"What is most troubling is how some of the federal agencies will distribute the massive amounts of funding provided for in this bill," said Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., on the floor of the House. "For instance, agencies will use funding in the House-passed bill for these endeavors
: $30 million for salt marsh harvest mouse habitation restoration in the San Francisco Bay; $8 to $10 million for oyster restoration in the Gulf of Mexico; $600 million for the acquisition of plug-in vehicles, which are not made or currently available in the United States. Sadly, the list goes on and on."

An ABC News report looked at the bill and noticed other line items that look suspiciously like earmarks, citing, "$1 billion for a zero-emission plant in Illinois, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects and, while not explicitly named, a Los Angeles-to-Las Vegas Magves magnetic levitation rail line that Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., backs."

In a Houston Chronicle editorial, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, called H.R. 1 "a Trojan horse for billions of dollars in pork barrel spending. Democrats have said repeatedly that there is not a single earmark in this bill. In fact, the stimulus bill itself is one giant earmark, a massive collection of unnecessary spending, pet projects and kickbacks to well-heeled contributors."

Even Democrats, as WND has reported, have conceded the presence of pork in the stimulus package. On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., took it upon himself to speak for the American people, boldly declaring that, when it comes to pork, "the American people really don't care."
