Would Obama Be President If He Made These Five Campaign Promises?
Calling a politician dishonest is like calling a burglar dishonest. The
difference is that burglars take less of your money, don't get invited
on the Sunday morning shows, and are more dangerous -- unless you
happen to be a woman near a male member of the Kennedy family.
Even amongst politicians, Barack Obama is such a liar that he makes
Bill Clinton look like honest Abe Lincoln by comparison. During the
campaign, Barack Obama promised everything to everybody and when people
inquired too closely, his supporters screamed that you had to be a
racist for doubting him.
Well now, Barack Obama is President of the United States and he
can no longer hide behind "hope" and "change" while he votes "present"
on the tough issues. Now, people can actually judge Barack Obama based
on what he's doing instead of just projecting their hopes and dreams on
a man with no record of leadership and a gift for soaring oratory.
Quite frankly, 2008 was a dream scenario for Barack. The
sitting Republican President had a 25% approval rating, the GOP ran an
old, uninspiring candidate who was disliked by much of the base, and
there was a botched response to a last minute financial crisis that
slammed the door shut on the GOP's last hopes of winning.
Still, with all those advantages, could Barack Obama have
become President had he told the American people what he actually
intended to do in his first year as President instead of essentially
saying, "Imagine what you want a politician to be. Ok, got it? Great,
that's what I'm going to do!"
