Just keeping track of the many, many broken promises

The Washington Times has taken notice of the fact that the Messiah has ignored his own campaign pledge to post any completed legislation passed by Congress on the White House Web site for five days before signing said bills on at least four recent occasions, contrary to his nauseatingly oft-stated commitment to "transparency".

"It seemed among the easiest of his transparency pledges and is entirely under his control"

Which just goes to show everyone the true value of Obama's word.

Oh, his press spokesman is quoted as stating that links to any currently pending Congressional bills are available from the White House site, but as the article points out, these recent bills were subject to amendment right up until final passage, after which they were immediately sent over to the President to endorse, so those already-outdated links aren't particularly helpful to those people who are watching for late-added shenanigans, are they?

"Mr. Obama has exempted emergency bills from his promise"

Because, you know, credit card reform just had to be signed into law right this minute, even though the provisions of the law don't take effect until next February.
