President Obama has survived his first fifty days and no one knows how much of our money he will spend by the time he reaches day one hundred. This is the man who convinced many of us that he was sincere and truly going to bring change to Washington D.C.
Except
He said lobbyists would have no influence on his administration and yet three influential lobbyists, Teal Baker, Brandon Hurlbut and Daniel Shapario were all part of his campaign. Baker is working for Podesta again, Hurlbut appears to be working behind the scenes for the Administration and Shapiro is an advisor to the National Security Council. No lobbyist influence here.
Except
No more entitlements or pork. Except of course in the $415 billion bill he just signed that has pork oozing through the cracks. Of course the excuse is that the bill was ready to go before he took office. Imagine what would have happened if he took a moral stand, kept his promise and vetoed the bill.
Except
The President talks one way when facing the people but then does another song and dance with the Congress.
The sad truth of the matter is that thus far Obama has shown himself to be just another politician who told a bunch of lies, put us into a debt we'll never get out of, and has sucked out the hope we had back in November.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he will surprise me and many others and actually prove to be a man of his word.
Except
I don't think Congress is going to let it happen. They outnumber him and they are never going to give up their power.
Let's talk line item veto and term limits. Let's give the country back to the people.
Its Common Sense!
