Liberal Watchdog Questions White House Gmail Use
MexiCali59 writes "Liberal watchdog CREW has joined Republican Congressman Darrell Issa in calling for an investigation into whether White House staffers regularly use private email accounts to communicate with lobbyists. The allegations, first reported last week by the New York Times, would likely constitute a violation of federal law as well as an ethics pledge created by Obama upon taking office last year."
Yes. PolitiFact has what they call an Obamameter, which tracks promises Obama made while campaigning. I realize it's fun to point to specific things you don't like and say that Obama has kept no promises, but that's dishonest.
It's equally dishonest to use the "Obamameter" to support your position without pointing out that it has a very... let's be civil and say "forgiving" attitude when deciding between "broken", "stalled", and "compromised."
You know Obama needs to get down on his knees and pray they run Palin in 2012, asI know a lot of die hard repubs that voted Obama and when asked why they said down to the last man "Have Caribou Barbie one heart attack away from being president? What are you nuts?". If they run her or Bobby "screw the poor!" Jindal I doubt it will matter how many campaign promises he breaks, he'll get it by default.
Now I know a lot of folks (myself included) that would vote Ron Paul simply because he wants to audit the fed and get us out of Iraq, but Caribou Barbie has no chance except for the teabaggers which certainly isn't enough to take the White House. As for TFA, am I the only one that feels like we got a Bush third term, considering he seems to be following Dubya's playbook?
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
