In a not-so-surprising move today, President Obama signed into a law a "an imperfect spending bill" worth $410 billion. According to an article released by the Associated Press, the bill was signed in private and Obama took no questions from the press regarding the bill or its signing.
President Obama did, however, release a "signing statement", citing constitutional concerns within certain elements of the bill. But in a show of hypocracy this week, Obama criticized President Bush for frequently releasing such statements upon signing such bills into law.
The signing of this spending bill raises further concerns regarding the overall credibility of Obama and his Administration. During his campaign, the President promised to curb the same types of earmarks this current bill is loaded with - pork barrel spending. In fact, the bill is loaded with 7,991 earmarks totalling more than $5.5 billion dollars in pork spending. Not surprisingly, funding for education and veterans affairs were left out of the bill.
The signing of this bill is just the latest in the list of lies and broken promises committed by Obama and his Aministration within only his first three months in office. For example, back nn February 27th, (as well as during his campaign) Obama promised to pull troops out of Afghanistan by 2010. However, just weeks before, apparently right under the noses of the American people, Obama authorized the deployment "surge" of 10,000 to 12,000 additional US combat troops to Afghanistan. This move will then effectively deploy up to 30,000 additional troops into Afghanistan over the next 12 to 18 months.
In another of the many examples of broken promises, Obama accepted over $170 million from bailed out Wall Street bankers, despite promising the refusal of this type of campaign support from big bankers and executives.
The list of Obama's lies and deceptions is a mile long. Yet the support for him around the country is still overwhelming. His presidecy is not yet three months old and he is already increasing the size of government. He is signing "stimulus" bills that have been proven to slow down the economy and crash the dollar even further. He is increasing military occupancy in the Middle East with no plans of slowing down. Despite the proven torture that has been inflicted on detainees at Guantanimo Bay, he has stated that their treatment "falls under teh Geneva Convention".
As stated, the list goes on and on...with no end in sight.
Complete details of these lies and decpetions by this Administration will be outlined in the upcoming and much anticipated film "the Obama Deception", which is being released this week on DVD as well as Internet download. The film was made by acclaimed syndicated radio talk show host and documentarian Alex Jones. A link to the film's website as well as further information can be found here:
