CHANGE (of plan)
We're not really going to have much change
The New American is running an article about promises President Obama has broken after only one month in office. Almost all of them are things he said he'd do differently than George Bush, but he has actually become a 3rd term of the Bush administation:
Broken Promise #1: “I’ll make our government open and transparent so that anyone can ensure that our business is the people’s business. ... No more secrecy.”
Reality: President Obama has made government less open and transparent, not more.
Broken Promise #2: “When there is a bill that ends up on my desk as President, you will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it.
Reality: This was the first Obama promise to be broken as president
Broken Promise #3: “What I won't do is return to the failed theories of the last eight years that got us into this fix in the first place, because those theories have been tested and they have failed.
Reality: President Obama has followed President Bush’s policy precisely. Bush’s economic policies can be summed up as “spend a lot more, cut taxes selectively, thereby spiking the budget deficit.” Bush simply threw borrowed tax dollars at economic problems, including “stimulus” bailouts.
