I guess President Obama believes promises are made to be broken. At least the ones he’s made.
President Obama failed to consult Congress, as promised, before carving out exceptions to the omnibus spending bill he signed into law – breaking his own signing-statement rules two days after issuing them – and raised questions among lawmakers and committees who say the president’s objections are unclear at best and a power grab at worst.
I think rather than keeping track of the promises our new president has broken, it would be easier to track of the promises he keeps. In a way, I hope he breaks his biggest and boldest promises. If he does our republic may survive after all.
