Yet another broken promise as Obama gives no-bid contract to campaign donor  

This is not surprising. He has done an about-face on so many of the promises he made, ones that got him elected, that he has out-done his political counterparts in promise-breaking. We expect politicians to sometimes say what we want to hear and then do something else, but Obama does the opposite of what he campaigned on so often, I think we could sue him for false advertising.

I am amazed that Obama supporters do not see that many promises he made on the campaign trail was just empty lies to lure the voters into thinking the "change" he promised would be advantageous to the USA. Surely by now his adoring followers must have seen that Obama has his own private agenda for the USA and it does NOT bode well for our country. They truly show that the saying "love is blind" is alive and well when it applies to Obama.

Although it's slowly changing more and more each day, there's still a very large number of Americans who hold Obama--and subsequently themselves--to a different standard of being.

I've said before and certainly haven't been the only one to say that Obama is one of the only people in history who is judged by what he and supporters tell us he should be judged on and not by his actions or even the actions of those he CHOOSES to surround himself with.

I know a lot of non-liberals are accused of a wide range of things when they mention Obama may be this or that, but his ties to radical progressives and dirty politics are amazingly evident to everyone who doesn't bash the messenger for lack of evidence to disprove the message.

I've noticed that the myLot political section has slightly more non-supporters than supporters. These non-supporters, while all the same in a hardcore supporter's eyes, range from Democrat-Republican hybrids (read: moderates lol) and centrists to right-leaning folks like me and radically right individuals like, well... we all know who!

So I'll see that group of Obama supporters get in on the action when a right-leaning person faults their own "side" for something. The rhetoric is always "wow, props. Good for you. Think on your own. I'm glad you see it. Etc." They love it when that happens. Oh, how noble of the righties to admit there are problems with Republicans and conservatives.

Where's that same appreciation for honesty despite affiliation when it's Obama?

The kool-aid's still sweet at the moment. But it will become watered down.

After another year of BS America bashing and no progress, the bribes and lies will sting more.

Just file this under the growing list of broken promises that Obama made, that is change you can believe in.

For a man that ran on "change" it sure looks like business as sleezy usual to me.

I'm going to try to learn more on this subject but I do have one question for you; were you aware that Checchi & Company has been in Afghanistan since 2003 and that this was a renewed contract, not a new one? As far as whether it was a no-bid contract originally, I read both that is was and that it was not.

I ran out of fingers to count the broken promises. And Obama is just paying back his friends for getting him into office. He is keeping his pre-election promises first. Maybe we are next on the list? doubt it.

This is just another in a long line of lies by 0bowmao.

Everything that he has denigrated Bush for during the election he is now doing himself.

The libturds screamed long and hard about Bush, Cheney, and Halliburton.... now we shall see if they were sincere or if it was just more political hypocrasy.

I am betting on the latter.

Keep fighting the good fight Taskr36. You notice more and more the only comeback Democrats and Liberals have is that Bush did it first? Like that makes when Obama does it not a big deal?...lol. We as everyday American people will never know the full extent of the waste and fraud in the so called stimulus spending.

almost everyone here is caught up in the false left/right paradigm. obama like bush is merely following a script; he takes his orders from the international bankers who run the whole show. "liberal", "conservative" there all on the same side! it DOES NOT MATTER who is president, the end result is the same- perpetual war, and growing police state at home. until people awaken like NEO in the matrix movie they will never be free. DEATH TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!
