It is becoming very apparent that the Obama presidency is one of broken promises, empty rhetoric, and constant lies. Once again, the president broke a campaign promise on reforming the way we operate our system. Instead of including the money for Iraq and Afganistan in the omnibus bill or budget, the Great Prevaricator sent a separate bill for funding those priorities. He had promised the spending would be included in the regular budget cycle but failed to fulfill that pledge.
"The supplemental spending bill is likely to be the last such request submitted to Congress to pay for the wars, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. While the Bush administration relied on supplemental spending bills to fund the conflicts,
Obama began including war spending in his 2010 budget."
Didn't the president just submit and win passage in both houses of a budget? Was this supplemental spending an emergency that just cropped up? Of course not. This man and the Democratic party have absolutely no intention of fulfilling any of their campaign promises. Their rhetoric is as empty as our pockets will be. It is time to begin calling this truth fabricator exactly what he is. He is a liar. We cannot believe a single word that flows from the TelePromTer and through his mouth. It is a sad day for this great nation.
