PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama keeps 1, ignores 1

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Barack Obama signed a pay-equity bill into law this week, he kept one campaign promise while breaking another.

But at the same time, Obama trampled a second promise he had made during the campaign: to post bills sent to him by Congress on the White House Web site for five days of public comment before signing them.

Two comments from me:

First, where was this AP article? I never saw it in any major papers, the USA today, NY times, LA Times, Washington Post, or any other majors. You would think this should have been real news, worthy of printing.

Actually, I'm shocked anyone in the propaganda ministry (formerly called the media) wrote this story at all.

My second comment is a call to action. I encourage everyone to go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/five_day_review/ to comment on this.

That page currently says:

There is currently no legislation awaiting the President’s signature. We hope you’ll come back to this page frequently, and share your input on the important legislation that will affect you, your community, and the nation in the years to come.

There's a form at the bottom of the page for you to leave a comment. Let's use this opportunity to question why the Ledbetter bill wasn't shown on the "Five day review" page.

Don’t worry, the Sycophants in the LameStream Media will continue their unabated suckup to Hussein.

They put these articles out every once in a while as a beard...something to cover their true selves.

b’SIDES, this is basically Hussein saying, “I’ll let you speak for five days, and THEN I’ll ignore you and do what I want to do anyway.”

(It’s hard to beleive that we now have national legislation based on one woman who received poor evaluations, and didn’t get the same raises as men AND WOMEN, who received good evaluations. If she really felt she was worth more, she could have quit, but she continued to work at the company because she knew she was in fact overpaid.)
