The Official list of Obama Administration Scandals!

By Peter Andrew – ConservativeAmerican.org

Contains scandals, mistakes, blunders, broken promises, flip flops, gaffes, lies, etc. That’s too long of a name, so we call it the Scandals List. Okay? List in chronological order – - recent items on highest page number.

101. Obama Lied, People Died – Smoking Scandal 12/8/8 – Obama said he quit smoking when, in fact, he had not. Obama lied to the American people about an issue that takes thousands of lives each year. He promises not to smoke in the White House though.
102. Obama Appointment Scandal # ?? – Steven Chu 12/17/8 – The U.S. Department of Energy says Barack Obama will name Dr. Steven Chu as the new Energy Secretary. “Chu, the current director of DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL),…won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1997 and has run LBNL since 2004…he was a professor at Stanford University and…is credited as an early advocate for finding solutions to climate change.” However, the Energy Department did not mention what a WordPress blogger called his “let’s paint the world white” idea: “Chu…wants to paint the world white. A global initiative to change the color of roofs, roads and pavements so that they reflect more sunlight and heat could play a big part in containing global warming, he said yesterday…Chu said that this approach could have a vast impact. By lightening paved surfaces and roofs to the color of cement, it would be possible to cut carbon emissions by as much as taking all the world’s cars off the roads for 11 years, he said.” — Save the Planet by making everything white. UPDATE 2/20/2009: From Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air website: “reporters asked him about OPEC output levels after a speech to a group of utility regulators. He responded that the issue was “not in my domain.” He confessed later to, er, “naivete.” File this away in the “Confidence Boosters”
103. Obama Senate Seat Scandal # 2 Rahm-Rod-ing Valerie Jarrett – 12/18/2008 As scandal breaks about filling Obama’s Senate Seat, word leaks out that Obama point man Rahm Emanuel tried to shove Valerie Jarrett down Rod Blagojevich’s throat. With no promised reward for Blago, the Illinois Gov. told the new Prez, “No deal!”
104. Obama Appointment Scandal # 3 – Robert Gates -12/22/2008 Obama gets in big trouble with Code Pink and MoveOn for keeping Bush Defense Sec. Robert Gates & more than 150 of the 250 political appointees at the Pentagon. Liberals mad at Obama suggest there might not be any change they can believe in.

105. Obama Appointment Scandal # 4 Bill Richardson -1/3/2009 Gov. Bill Richardson removes himself from the running to be US Commerce Secretary, supposedly because of an on-going investigation into a possible “pay-for-play” deal in Richardson’s state. However, the Obama camp knew about that before it named him as its nominee to the post. So the real deal is?
106. Obama Appointment Scandal # 5 Peter Orszag 1/4/9 – While Obama’s plans will create the largest deficit ever, he names another liberal blogger from the Brookings Institution (Rice is the other) who says “budget deficits could trigger a fiscal crisis!” Don’t we already have one?? I guess to Orszag, deficits only matter if a republican is in the White House. Blazing Deficit Hypocrisy! UPDATE 4/18/9: KOA Radio reports: “by 2016 the Obama deficit would reach $8.7 trillion, which is $2.9 trillion more than the deficits racked up by all presidents combined since 1789 (232 years).”
107. Obama Senate Seat Scandal # 3 Reid Reportedly Says No Blacks – 1/4/2009 The bankrupt Chicago Trib says Harry Reid called Blago to tell him not to appoint 3 different men to the Obama senate seat, all of whom are black. Reid reportedly suggests 2 whites instead. UPDATE 1/6/9: Durbin & Reid refuse to seat Burris, keeping senate a whites only club. UPDATE 1/9/9: The Illinois Supreme Court pulls a King Herod and sent the whole Burris issue back to Pilate (the US Senate) today. The court said no signature is needed by the Illinois secretary of state and the Burris appointment by Blago is valid. More trouble for Harry Reider & the Half Black Prince! UPDATE 1/12/9: At Obama’s command, Reid & Durbin cave, and allow Burris to be seated. UPDATE 1/15/9: Burris seated today. UPDATE 2/19/9: Burris still under attack as some try to oust him. UPDATE 2/24/9: Dick Durbin asks Burris to leave, still going for the whites-only club. Burris says no.

108. Obama Appointment Scandal # 6 (& possibly Lobbyist Scandal # 1) Leon Panetta – 1/5/2009 Democrats Feinstein & Rockefeller are ticked off Obama not only picked Panetta to run the CIA, but didn’t ask them or tell them before it all hit the media! Another headache for Obama; people on both sides of the aisle say Panetta is unqualified. Panetta was the key advisor when Clinton decided against taking Bin Laden from the Sudanese, ready to hand him over. UPDATE: 2/5/9 Panetta took $700,000 in speaking & consulting fees from bailed out firms and companies doing biz with the government. His “consulting” sounds like lobbying work in the ‘no-lobbyists, I promise’ Obama administration. UPDATE: 2/19/9 Panetta sworn in.
109. Obama Flip Flopped on Capturing Osama Bin Laden January, 2009 – Politico: “During the presidential debates last year, Obama declared that capturing or killing Osama bin Laden “has to be our biggest national security priority.” In his first TV interview after winning the election, he said the terrorist leader was “not just a symbol. He’s also the operational leader of an organization that is planning attacks against U.S. targets,” and that the additional troops being sent to Afghanistan would hunt him down because “capturing or killing bin Laden is a critical aspect of stamping out Al Qaeda.” Bin Laden’s significance to Obama dissipated during the transition. By the time Obama gave another interview in early January, he said killing or capturing bin Laden was not necessary to “meet our goal of protecting America.” A few months later, when he announced his Afghanistan troop surge, he made no reference to the hunt for bin Laden.
110. Obama Appointment Scandal # 7! Carol Socialist Browner – Obama Administration says being socialist is “Not a Problem.” OMG, you’re kidding right? Nope. Obama spokespal Nick Shapiro says the fact Obama’s pick for Climate Hoax Czar is a Socialist is simply, “not a problem.” That’s it. It certainly is a problem!! And a huge one at that! President Elect Barack Obama intends to lead this nation into Socialism. It worked so well for Europe that it’s “not a problem here.” Gag. UPDATE 9/18/9: Included on Sean Hannity’s the “President’s Top Ten.” Browner also is featured on our “Obama’s Most Unwanted List!” UPDATE 11/28/9 Carol Browner says the growing Climategate Scandal is no big deal as Obama heads off to Coppenhagen to negotiate a Climate Hoax treaty!
111. Obama Appointment Scandal # 8! Eric Let ‘em Go Holder – Obama picks Eric Holder for Attorney General. Holder was involved in the pardons of Marc Rich and 16 Puerto Rican terrorists. Another lousy pick. Republicans with no guts don’t bother to oppose him. Obama gets praise and glory for appointing a minority (Holder is black), even though Bush got little credit for appointing minorities to cabinet positions. Holder’s law firm represents 17 Gitmo terrorists. Sure will be nice for them when Obama closes Gitmo!

112. Obama’s Broken National Security Promise – KOA Radio reports Obama promised to conduct no national security business before taking office. However, he “had his advisors from the primarily leftist pacifist group United States Institute of Peace and transition staff (including Ellen Laipson and William Perry) conducting secret, “very, very high-level” meetings in Damascus with Syrian and Iranian officials, according to Jeffrey Boutwell.”
113. Obama Breaks Promises Before Inauguration – On January 10th, Barack Obama told ABCDEmocrat News he won’t be able to carry out his campaign promises! You mean he lied?!! Now we have to listen to four years of “Obama Lied.” Great.
     
114. Obama Inauguration Scandal # 1 – The Barack Obama Coronation price-tag will be more than three times any other inauguration ever cost! UPDATE 1/19/2009: He’ll be spending $150-million! So big spending on the next CEO of our nation is okay, but other CEO’s have to skip the spa’s and the evil corporate jet rides? Blatant Hypocrisy. UPDATE tally was close to $175-million.
115. Obama Inauguration Scandal # 2 – Obama picks an anti gay-marriage pastor to speak, creating commotion over what inclusiveness means. Obama chose Rick Warren, evangelical pastor and author. Geoff Kors, of Equality California said “Appalling. If that’s Obama’s idea of a new day, we are in a lot of trouble.” UPDATE 1/21/09: Warren actually said “Jesus” during the prayer!
116. Obama Inauguration Scandal # 3 – Obama picks a Muslim “scholar” to speak at his coronation prayer service January 21st who is the leader of a group that federal prosecutors say has ties to terrorists! Yet another instance of Obama befriending terrorists. She is Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America. In July 2008, federal prosecutors in Dallas filed court documents linking her terror group, Hamas, which is hell-bent on the destruction of Israel.
117. Obama Inauguration Scandal # 4 – Obama sells only inauguration day interview to ABC for the $2-mill they paid to sponsor the DC Neighborhood Ball!


New Obama Book Coming March 2010!

118. Obama Inauguration Scandal # 5 – KOA Radio reports Obama becomes the first President ever to skip the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball, which is held in honor of Medal of Honor recipients, Purple Heart recipients, paralyzed veterans and other military heroes. Obama did, however, find time to attend the Neighborhood Ball, which was filled with Hollywood’s ultra elite.”
119. Obama Inauguration Scandal # 6 1/20/9 So who paid for Obama’s big party? From Politico and the Wall Street Journal: “Wall Street employees have been the largest single source of private donations, and many of the contributions have been channeled through financial-services executives who have put together bundles of donations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. “The preponderance of large donors and the fact that so many come from an industry receiving government handouts comes as the president-elect has sought to keep his inauguration free of special interests,” The Journal observed. Bundlers from the financial sector include executives from Citigroup Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., two firms that have accepted billions of dollars each in bailout money from the federal government.”
120. Obama Inauguration Mistake - 1/20/9 New York Post: “In the third sentence of his first speech as president, Obama said, “44 Americans have now taken the presidential oath.” The correct number is 43, as Grover Cleveland served twice.”
121. VP Biden Doesn’t Know Name of Supreme Court Justice!- 1/20/9 – Another Gaffe for Joe Biden. Fox News reports “Biden misspoke when he told a cheering crowd of supporters, “Jill and I had the great honor of standing on that stage, looking across at one of the great justices, Justice Stewart.” Justice John Paul Stevens — not Stewart — swore Biden in as vice president.”
122. Obama Broken Promise on Iraq War #1 – Jan. 21, 2009 -On his first full day in office, Obama breaks a promise he made in July, 2008. Fox News reports Obama said he would hold a full cabinet meeting his first day to set a new course to get out of Iraq. He did not hold the meeting & instead plans to get troops out of Iraq “in good time” while adding to forces in Afghanistan!
     
123. Obama: Do as I say, not as I do – Jan. 21, 2009 – KOA Radio reports David Axelrod says Obama likes to be warm and keeps the oval office so hot you could grow tropical plants in there! Odd, considering On May 19, 2008, Obama chided Americans that it is wrong for them to keep their thermostats on 72 degrees and stated, “That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
     
124. Obama Executive Orders Scandal – Jan. 22, 2009 – Obama demonstrates he’s not ready for prime time as he signs executive orders, but has to ask his attorney what they actually say! How can you, in good faith, sign an executive order when you don’t know what it says!! Greg Craig had to help the President. Remember when they said Bush was too dumb to be president and Dick Cheney was actually doing the work? Maybe President Obama is too dumb & Greg Craig is actually doing the work!
125. Obama’s Secretary of State Unconstitutional? Appointment Scandal #9 – Jan. 22, 2009 -With no objections from wimpy republicans, HIllary Rodham Clinton is sworn in as Sec. of State. Her senate vote increasing the pay for the Sec. of State made her ineligible for the position according to Article 1 Section 6 of the US Constitution.
126. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 2 William Lynn – Jan. 22, 2009 – A US Senate committee puts the nomination of William Lynn to be deputy defense secretary on hold. It seems he breaks the brand new Obama Administration Rules just set up the day before! Obama promised no former lobbyists would serve in his administration. That would rule Lynn out. Obama’s press team says rules are made to be broken! UPDATE: Obama administration says it’s in “the public interest” to grant Lynn a waiver!!! So all the other lobbyists hired in the past were hired against “the public interest???” UPDATE: Lynn gets approval without any trouble 2/11/9.
     UPDATE 2/25/2010: CNN, a year later, realizes this is a bit of hypocrisy!
     
127. Obama Breaks Promise to Bring Troops Home as one of His “First Actions” in the Oval Office 1/22/9 – Conservative Wisdom points out that Obama promised on 10/27/2007 to bring troops home as one of his first actions in the White House if he won the election. He won. He didn’t do it. Here he is making the promise…
     
128. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 3 William Corr – Again, Obama breaks his brand new no lobbyist rules! Twice in one week! This time it is with the naming of lobbyist William Corr to be Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services. So much for “higher standards” for Team Obama. “When I am president, they [lobbyists] won’t find a job in my White House.”
129. Obama Terrorist Scandal # 3 – Talks with Terrorists (& Obama’s Apology Tour #1!) – Obama makes a big mistake in granting his first post-inauguration TV interview to Al-Arabiya (not a US network!) and says America must stop “dictating” to others. Fox News: “All too often the United States starts by dictating … and we don’t always know all the factors that are involved. So let’s listen. And I think if we do that, then there’s a possibility at least of achieving some breakthroughs. … My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”
130. Obama Breaks Promise to Anti-Life Anti-Family Pro Choice Crowd 1/25/9 – Last year before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Barack Obama told pro-abortion activists: “The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.” With a single stroke of the pen, Barack Obama (promised he) would wipe away virtually every state law on abortion nationwide. Instantly, it will undo thirty-seven years of legal work, research, and educational successes that AUL has accomplished in the 50 states.” – UPDATE 7/16/9: Obama no longer has to worry about this Act. He has included it within the Obama Health Care Plan.
131. Obama Appointment Scandal # 10! James Steinberg 1/26/9- Obama’s pick for deputy sec. of state rewrites the Constitution saying in written testimony that Americans have a free speech right to tax-payer funded abortion! LifeNews: Steinberg claims Congress cannot constitutionally restrict taxpayer funding to perform or promote abortions. He says the Mexico City policy, which Obama rescinded “is an unnecessary restriction that, if applied to organizations based in this country, would be an unconstitutional limitation on free speech.”
132. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 4 (& Appointment Scandal # 11) Mark Patterson – And Again, President B-Rock breaks his own no lobbyist rule. No big deal, rules schmules after all. This time it is with yet another waiver and the appointment of Goldman Sachs Lobbyist Mark Patterson, named to be number 2 under Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner at the Treasury. Obama again demonstrates what a lousy judge of character he is in picking a tax cheat & lobbyist with conflicts of interest to head the treasury.
133. Obama Appointment Scandal # 12 – Picks a Maxim Model, “Feminist Paradox,” For an Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff!- 1/27/9 Gawker calls Ali Campoverdi a Feminist Paradox: “Alejandra Campoverdi…how did she make her way from a farmworker’s family to Maxim magazine to the White House? And does it say anything about the Millennial Generation’s take on feminism that she’s happily reconciled reality dating TV with an Ivy League education; lingerie photo spreads with a high-powered political job? Current gig: Assistant for a deputy chief of staff to the president. Pop-culture translation: Donna from the West Wing.” She used to date Obama speechwriter, Jon Favreau (the guy who groped the Hillary Clinton cutout during the campaign). Gawker also notes, “Alejandra Campoverdi zoomed from campaign intern to assistant to a deputy White House chief of staff with, we’re told, no other political experience. But the “flirtatious” Obama staffer supposedly wanted more. Judging from what we’ve heard, the Maxim model-turned-Harvard grad student has drawn as much notice within the president’s circle as she has outside of it. Campoverdi is said to have joined the campaign just this past fall; when she was installed in the West Wing in January, some staffers who count their experience in years rather than months were still waiting to hear about their futures.
134. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 2 (& Appointment Scandal #13) Tom Daschle – The theme to this list: Barack does a lousy job of picking friends. AP reports former US Senator Tom Daschle, picked by Obama to lead health reform, “recently filed amended tax returns to report $128,203 in back taxes and $11,964 in interest.” Hey, it was okay for Geithner, so it’s okay for Daschle. Chicago-Style Democrat Senator Dick Durbin says Daschle “lost an election ending his public career…he went out in the private sector, and now he’s found himself having made a mistake and admitted to it. He took the steps necessary to start paying the taxes, make sure they’re paid. Now, that’s the right thing to do.” I doubt Durbin would say that about a republican! UPDATE 2/20/9: I was right. Durbin kept quiet about taxes Palin owes after laws were changed to hurt her. UPDATE 2/3/9: “President Obama admitted he made a “mistake” in his handling of Daschle’s Cabinet nomination, telling FOX News he takes full responsibility for a process that ended in Daschle withdrawing. “I consider this a mistake on my part, one that I intend to fix and correct and make sure that we’re not screwing up again,” Obama said. And this: All Voices reports Obama said “”So this is a mistake — probably not the first one I’m going to be making in this office, but what I’m absolutely committed to doing is fixing it.” – Excuse me, Mr. President, but somethin’ ain’t right with that statement. Don’t you mean “probably not the last one I’m going to me making in this office” or at least “not the first one I made in this office”?”
135. Obama Comedian Gaffe #1 – Democrat Matt Lauer tells Obama singer Jessica Simpson has replaced him on the cover of US magazine. Obama jokes that she is “losing a weight battle, apparently.” Not very funny and not a very nice, or presidential thing to do.
136. Obama Appointment Scandal # 14 Samantha Power 1/30/9 -Newsday: “Samantha Power, who earned notoriety for calling Hillary Clinton a “monster” while working to elect Obama president, will take a senior foreign policy job at the White House, The Associated Press has learned. Officials say Obama has tapped Power to be senior director for multilateral affairs at the National Security Council, a job that will require close contact and potential travel with Clinton, who is now secretary of state.” UPDATE 9/18/9: Power makes it to the infamous “The President’s Top 10″ list put together by Sean Hannity!
137. Obama Family Scandal #4 1/30/9- George Obama, the President’s half-brother who lives in a shack and earns $1 a day in Kenya, was arrested for having marijuana on Jan. 30th, 2009. This is the man Obama has done nothing to help even though he preaches (like during his acceptance speech) about caring for your brother. Interesting how the press can say this is Obama’s “HALF” brother, but they can’t say Obama is “HALF” black.

138. Obama Breaks Promise to Payoff Trial Lawyers! 2/1/9 – From Opposing Views comes this: “As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days. Then how does he explain the Lilly Ledbetter Act, which Heritage correctly describes as a payoff to trial lawyers? According to the Congressional website THOMAS the Lilly Ledbetter Act was passed by the Senate on January 22, then passed by the House of Representatives on January 27 and signed into law by President Obama two days later.”
139. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 3 (And Appointment Scandal #15) Nancy Killefer 2/3/9- This is ridiculous. The USA has elected an unqualified man with incredibly poor judgment as our President. You’d think after the first two tax-cheats he wanted to hire caused so much trouble, he might learn his lesson. Nope. Fox News reports “the administration had refused to answer how its choice [Nancy Killefer] to make government workers more efficient and more responsive had bungled her household payroll taxes.” She took herself out of the running for Obama’s newly created “Chief Performance Officer” position. She failed for 18-months to pay employment taxes on household help.
140. Obama Appointment Scandal # 16! Obama’s Spy Man Company Breaches Top Secret Files 2/3/9- Rush Limbaugh says terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, heads a firm cited for breaching sensitive files in the State Department. “The security breach, first reported by the Washington Times and later confirmed by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, involved a contract employee of Brennan’s firm, The Analysis Corp., which has earned millions providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies. McCormack confirmed the contractor had accessed the passport files of presidential candidates Obama, Clinton, and McCain and that the inspector general had launched an investigation. Newsmax says the main target of the breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to ‘cauterize’ the” Obama file, to make sure that whatever was in there was bottled up.
141. Obama’s Chief of Staff an Illegal Renter! 2/3/9 -Gawker.com reports Rahm Emanuel is renting a basement from congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. A zoning administrator says the house is listed as “single family” and can’t be rented out.
142. Obama Appointment Scandal # 17! David Playboy Ogden 2/4/9- Obama’s pick for deputy attorney general, David Ogden, gets blasted by Fidelis for his risque legal work for Playboy and others Fox News calls “purveyors of nudity.” Ogden represented Playboy and prevented a federal court from releasing a list of distributors of what some said was pornographic material. From Tax Cheats to Porn Defenders, this Obama guy has a talent for picking the winners, eh? UPDATE 9/7/9: ABC News reporter Jake Tapper: Bizarre Conflict of Interest Okay with Team Obama (AGAIN)! “Deputy Attorney General David Ogden worked for Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP…(He is) permitted to cooperate and participate in the investigation into possible prosecutorial misconduct in the case of U.S. v Theodore Stevens even though government lawyers whose conduct is in question are represented by (his) law firms.” See related Scandals dated 9/7/9.
143. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 4 (And Appointment Scandal #18) Hilda Solis’ Family 2/5/9 – Obama tells press he has “learned” you can’t have “two sets of standards.” He just learned that??!! Despite that nonsense, yet another tax scandal has popped up for the Obamanator. This guy has only been in office 16 days! Seems the husband of Obama’s nominee for US Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis, has more than $7,600 in tax liens on his auto repair business. Obama spokespal says they won’t punish her for her husband’s mistakes. UPDATE: KOA Radio reports Solis made her own mistake when she lobbied for herself as a member of Congress, violating House ethics rules.
144. The Obama Corporate Jet Hypocrisy -Socialist President Obama spends the week spewing the evils of corporate jets used by overpaid execs, only to arrange a special jet ride for one US Senator to vote on his Porkulus bill! The Obama Administration learned Ohio Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown could not make it back to D.C. to vote because there were no seats available on commercial airlines. While execs can’t use those evil corporate Cessna Jets because they are on the public dollar, seems it’s okay for Obama The Hypocrite to arrange special plane rides for his pals ALSO on the public dollar. This president is a joke. UPDATE: 2/10/9 Fox reports Obama’s head of the National Economic Council, Larry Summers, flew on Citigroup’s corporate jet from the Democratic National Convention in Denver back to New York last year. UPDATE: 2/24/9 Repeats his promise to kill the evil corporate jet. UPDATE: 3/10/9 Judicial Watch says Nancy Pelosi is abusing her private military jet and using the Air force as a private airline. Fox reported more democrat hypocrisy saying Pelosi aide Kay King emailed the air force to complain about the types of planes they were allowing her to use: “It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable … The Speaker will want to know where the planes are.”
145. Obama Appointment Scandal # 19 Shauna Daly 2/9/9- President Obama misuses his power, appointing a 29-year old “Partisan Dirt Digger” as a White House Counsel Research Director, another new position he added despite the tough economy. The Washington Times has an exclusive story about Shauna Daly: “Though she is inside one of the most powerful legal offices, Miss Daly holds no law degree and doesn’t list any legal training on her resume. Her sole experience has been as an opposition researcher for Democratic political campaigns: She helped dig up dirt on rivals”. The move indicates an intention to use the White House Counsel’s office to keep Obama in power by digging up more dirt on Sarah Palin and any other potential threats to his 2012 campaign.
146. Obama’s RV Lie at first Press Conference 2/9/9 – In his first prime time press conference, President Obama lied to the American people. He said, “There are people right now with good credit who can’t get loans to buy an RV.” He used the recreational vehicle example after being in Elkhart, IN where many are made. The statement is completely false. There are about 11,000 banks in the USA and 7,000-to-9,000 have no financial problems at all, and even make money. These banks have money to loan to people with good credit and a good down payment. It is a lie to say that people with good credit cannot get a loan to buy an RV and help the people in Elkhart.
147. Obama has to Cover for latest Biden Gaffe! 2/9/9 New York Times: “MR. OBAMA: Major Garrett. Where is Major? QUESTION: Mr. President, at a speech Friday that many of us covered, Vice President Biden said the following thing about a conversation the two of you had in the Oval Office about a subject he didn’t disclose. “If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, if we stand up there and we really make the tough decisions, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’re going to get it wrong.” Since the vice president brought it up, can you tell the American people, sir, what you were talking about? And if not, can you at least reassure them it wasn’t the stimulus bill or the bank rescue plan and if in general you agree with that ratio of success, 30 percent failure, 70 percent success? MR. OBAMA: (Laughs.) You know, I don’t remember exactly what Joe was referring to, not surprisingly. (Laughter.)
148. Obama’s Broken Tax Promise # 1 -Within days of taking office, Obama breaks promise not to raise any taxes on those making less than $250,000 a year! Obama approves tax hike of 61-cents a pack on cigarettes after saying as a candidate: “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” UPDATE: 2/24/9: Obama repeats the lie saying those who make less than $250,000 will not pay higher taxes, “Not one Dime!” UPDATE 3/5/9: Obama’s budget raises 45% of its revenue from energy taxes that will be paid by everyone who fills a gas tank, pays an electric bill, or buys anything that was grown, shipped, or manufactured. UPDATE 3/24/9: Neil Cavuto on Fox reported Obama’s budget raises taxes on those making above $209,000.
149. Obama Appointment Scandal # 20 Judd Gregg 2/12/9-The President’s 2nd choice for Commerce Secretary also drops out saying the differences he had with Obama on the Deficit Stimulus Plan and the power-grab over the Census were the things that made him change his mind. Obama calls the news “something of a surprise.” It’s one of many appointment scandals, Mr. President. How can it be a surprise?? His 5th appointment screw-up since promising not to screw up again!
150. Obama’s Caterpillar, Inc. Hiring Lie -2/12/09 Hot Air reports the news from 2/11/9 that quoted Barack Obama saying Cat would be hiring if his proposed Stimulus Bill gets passed, is not even close to being right! Cat CEO Jim Owens says “I think realistically no. The truth is we’re going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again.” Hot Air: “Yesterday’s…headline is today’s comedy gold. Note the reason, too, why he can’t re-hire people right away: Because the stimulus simply won’t do any stimulating fast enough.”
