flip-flop on campaign promises

Submitted by rainbear14 on January 12, 2009 - 7:48pm.

Is it just me or are others noticing Mr Obama "switcharues"? After his interview with ABC sunday I just am flabergasted at what he stated,these quotes are in my words and certainly not exactly accurate,,1) may not get out of Irag as promised, "there is an agreement in place now allowing our withdraw, we may have to honor that agreement" --even tho not ever voted on by our government,,,2) the tax increases on the wealthy..."it may not be the correct time to increase taxes due to our current economy" ? HUH! 3)the incentive bill needs passed quickly,,,in the meantime agreeing with republican tax reductions throughout the bill,,tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy...4)" education is critical...yet with the state of our economy, we may not get to it right away"...5)"Mr Bush, Dick and Rove need to investigated for possible crimes committed"---now, "we are looking forward and we need to move forward, investigating the past doesn't help our progress"...I want my money back!! Cooperation doesn't mean change convictions! Progressives need to SPEAK OUT! He is not even sworn in yet and he is already caving!

Please see the Rules of Democrats.com here: http://www.democrats.com/rules

You must generally support President Barack Obama, and you must not misrepresent his positions or actions, smear him, or attack him (1)

(1) President Obama is the first Democratic president to call himself a progressive. But we recognize he is not as progressive as many of us here at Democrats.com, and we disagree (sometimes strongly) with some of his policies, Senate votes, and appointments. It is within our rules to criticize President Obama for specific actions and to urge him to take more progressive actions. But it is against our rules to misrepresent his actions, smear him, or attack him. If you disagree with an action he takes, please offer specific constructive criticism with your preferred alternative and explain how it could realistically pass Congress - rather than simply attack without offering politically realistic alternatives. The best use of our forums is to intelligently discuss the merits of various alternatives. If you do not cannot support President Obama and accept occasional disappointments like a thoughtful adult, please find another online community to participate in.
