first there was the campaign....now reality.

OK, sorry about the previous post and the pics not fitting...I was tired.

Now we all know that politicians lie, it's a sad fact and one I wish we the voting public would call them on....but we don't and they keep lying. Shame on us. Campaigns are all about lying, you say one thing to one group and another to a different crowd the next day, that's where history is important since you have to look at an individuals values and voting record to get an idea of what they'll really be like. Still, some campaign promises are actually easy ones to keep...if you've got nothing to hide that is. Take Obama's promise for more transparency in our Government - the one about posting bills online for us to review before he signs them...simple to keep, you'd think! I don't expect every one to meet his promise, somethings need to be signed quickly, but come on...why couldn't he at least get a few up there?

Why aren't more people calling him on these? Why are his followers still stuck in the clouds? If the people in your life can't keep simple promises do you have faith in them to keep the big ones? I don't...
