You're right, seldom see Republicans in favor of doing away with corruption.
My memory is Obama said he'd clean the lobbyists from appointed jobs in his administration. I believe there have been 2 waivers on appointing ex lobbyists out of thousands of position... under Bush it was over half the positions. I don't see Obama as a liar at all, not as liberal or effective as I had hoped but doing as honest job as we've had in a long while..... maybe Truman.
2? LMAO. He appointed 12 in his first 2 weeks and not out of "thousands of positions", in what are probably the top 50 positions in his administration.
You dont think hes a liar?
Will accept Federal financing for his campaign
Would not accept campaign money from lobbyists
No Lobbyists in his administration
Will veto any bill with pork in it
Transparency
No tax increases on the middle class
All bills posted on the internet before they are voted on
Health care debate will be broadcast on C-Span
Will "reach across the aisle"
Thats just off the top of my head. And Im not even counting Gitmo, he may actually have meant to do that, he was just too naive to realize that it was a bad idea. All of the above he had control over and violated them anyway. That, my friend, is a liar.
