Politics Daily contributor Matt Lewis appeared Wednesday on MSNBC with Ryan Grim of The Huffington Post (see article here) to discuss Barack Obama's campaign promises of change and how they've been affected by the political climate. Click below to watch the discussion:
This is real simple to answer he didn't keep ANY of them. His first and the reason he was elected was to bring the troops home. To date there are now more there than when he took office. He made 510 promises while on the campaigne trail which took 2 years. During that time he was only on his day job for 93 days out of the 2 years but ended up making over 2 million dollars. How do you not go to work and make that kind of money???

In Islam it is considerd normal to lie to non Muslims. In fact, it is expected to deceive Infidels so that you can sneak up on them and cut their heads off when they least expect it.

Nobody should be surprised with the way things have worked out really. Obama did'nt have a clue about what he was getting into and still does'nt. Its now very clear he is and always has been a liar. The only thing he has mastered is the art of getting uneducated people and those with low self morals to follow his wishes. It will be a short time before it all falls apart and hell be forced to admit the full association with groups like ACORN who he said he knew very little about. Another lie.

Replacing Michelle Chicago Style Wow I want that job!!!!
Replacing Michelle
At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24, 2009 was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review "The Week" column.
Here it is, word for word, as it appeared:
”Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting".
In 2005, the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000--nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator.. Oh--did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator?
He sure had, and he requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network, Michelle!
But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?
Let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20hr. a week job. And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich's wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission.
My thoughts: How did this bit of quid pro quo corruption escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files? Unbelievable!
I hope this is forwarded so many times that the media will HAVE to cover it.

Michelle Obama’s Salary
May 17, 2009
Q: Did Michelle Obama make $317,000 a year while working part-time at the University of Chicago Medical Center?
So far all I have seen is pessimistic people who are expressing their personal dislikes for the man under the pretense of political dissatisfaction....Obama is no more a liar than George, Bill, George, or Ronnie...get real hicktowners!

If you are like me and can’t travel, but want to make a difference and be heard, email YOUR elected and appointed local, state, and Federal officials for FREE and as often as you want. Don't waste your time with the left wing garbage you see on these boards, they are people who don't have a clue, refuse to acknowledge facts, and are totally selective about what they want to hear, see, and discuss. Go to http://www.votesmart.org/index.htm Let them know in no uncertain terms, NO to Obamacare, Thoroughly Investigate Acorn, No Amnesty for Illegals, No Cap and Tax (Global Warming Sham), STOP the attacks on our own CIA, investigate the socialist and communist CZARS, support our troops and win this damn war in Afghanistan and quit making it a political issue, and STOP the incredible string of lies. If you like the site, pass it on.
If you want to get the truth about what is going on in Government with all of the illegal immigration issues from a website that publishes well researched facts, go to http://www.numbersusa.com/content/ This website also allows you to send FREE emails to YOUR state, and federal elected and appointed officials, including the President. If you like the website, use it and pass it on to your friends.

This is one of our Presidents close allies: You can't make up absurdities better than this! Isn't politics grand? HURRAH FOR THE DEMOCRATS!
Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member:
Mel Reynolds
Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer. This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate.... won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate! His new job?
