When President Obama was running for president he promised us a change from the business as usual in DC. WHERE is the change? I haven't seen any change for the business as usual. To get elected a politician will tell you what they think you want to hear then once they get elected they seem to forget about all of the promises that they made to get there.
On March 11, 2009 Obama called for greater Earmark reform, where is that. An attempt was made to force the Pentagon to buy 2 additional Gulfstream 550 jets when they had only asked for funding for 1 which would have added $132 million to the budget and this was after the CEO's of the automakers were raked over the coals for flying to DC in private jets. Talk about a double standard. The Pentagon has also attempted to stop funding for the new Presidential choppers, extra C-17 Transport jets, and F-18 fighters plus many other items.
Most of the appointments that Obama has made so far have gone to people who are well established Democrats or supported him during his election campaign. Doesn't look like a change to me.
Even though Obama has promised "Transparency" in government, yet once elected he has chosen to keep some of the same policies in place that Bush had.
Obama talked a good game (that a lot of people bought into) but once elected it was "Business as Usual" not change as he promised. What a shock a politician who told many people what they wanted to hear but once elected not following through on the promises that got them elected.
