Again, how dare we mere citizens hold our politicians to the promises they make on the campaign trail. When are we going to get it that it is just campaign rhetoric.  I know, what happened to the big question of “Just Words?”

“You, the public, will have five days to review any bill online and find out what’s in it before I sign it. So that you know what your government is doing.”

So riddle me this Messiah, if the porkulus bill goes up on Friday evening and you sign it into law on Tuesday morning (as proposed), how many full days is that exactly??? Are you telling me that this is NOT the era of Hope n’ Change that many (not including my kool-aid sober self) were led to believe in??? Gaaaaaaaaaaaasp! LOL.

“No more secrecy” my ass. HotAir also calls him out on this for the S-CHIP bill when he forgot about the timeframe for citizen review. But isn’t this the “people’s president,” as I so often heard him referred to as. Luckily, I never bought it – politicians say whatever they’ve got to in order to get your vote. Remember – Always! Be! Closing! Every politician does it – that’s why as voters we need to understand this and review voting records as well as past positions on issues. Not slap on a “Obama is My Homeboy” t-shirt, replay CNN clips 50 times, and drink yourself silly into a voting euphoria with a gallon of Kickin-Kiwi-Lime before going to the voting booth.

Here’s the vid to see what Barry is doing the back peddling on.
