I'm not familiar with this site--probably a right-wing one--but it matters not--the key is the video clip and the list of broken promises. The clip is from the campaign in 2007, I think--the date doesn't matter to me.
Is this the "change we can believe in?" A politician saying one thing during a campaign and doing the opposite when in office isn't really a change, is it?
EDIT: The link doesn't work, Guvy says, so here it is on YouTube:
Here are the seven promises:
1. Make government open and transparent.
2. Make it "impossible" for Congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects.
3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. (Even Congressional Republicans shut out.)
4. No more secrecy.
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a bill.
6. You’ll know what’s in it.
7. We will put every pork barrel project online.
I frankly think 3 and 4 are part of the same promise, but nevertheless, it's pretty breathtaking.
