Each day more and more people are coming to the conclusion that President Obama is not living up to the promises he made while running for President.  Even though most candidates bend the truth on occasion, many Obama supporters seem deeply disappointed that “ the one” may turn out to be just another “one” of those politicians that are honestly challenged who has elevated dissembling to an art form.

The litany of  instances of Obama saying one thing and doing the complete opposite is stunning:  in his stump speech he proclaimed that he would have the most open White House ever, even saying that he would invite C-Span in to televise the healthcare meetings; he promised to have a “lobbyist free” staff; he promised tax cuts for the middle class; he promised no Medicare/caid cuts; he promised that Joe Biden would be watching the expenditures of the Stimulus funds to insure against wasteful spending and political tinkering;  and he promised that he would hunt down Bin Laden and would commit the needed troops there to do the job.  So far he is batting zero on these commitments.

We had a hint that his word just might not be his bond when we heard him say that he sat in Reverend Wright’s church for a decade and never heard Wright preach any of his controversial anti-American sermons. 

At the current pace of Obama’s half-truths, by the end of Obama’s first term, Clinton will sound like Honest Abe.3
