TM7,
While we are looking for the truth of what Obama said, let’s examine the word “Reform” since this appears to be the lynch pin of truth or lie.
noun
1. The improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory
2. An amendment of conduct
3. An amendment of belief
–verb (used with object)
4. To change to a better state, form, etc.; improve by alteration, substitution, abolition, etc.
5. To cause (a person) to abandon wrong or evil ways of life or conduct.
6. To put an end to abuses, disorders, etc.
7. Chemistry. to subject to the process of reforming, as in refining petroleum.
–verb (used without object)
8. To abandon evil conduct or error: The drunkard promised to reform.
–adjective
9. Pertaining to, or characteristic of Reform Jews or Reform Judaism: a Reform rabbi.
So as you can see from the above, no matter what way you use the word “reform” and apply it to earmarks, Obama lied. He did nothing to reform earmarks in any way shape or form regardless of how you use the word in this regard.
Obama has done nothing to reform anything.:
1.He’s spending our money like a loaded sailor: I.E. $800billion pork barrel bill political payback bill
2.No plan to address Tarp or the remaining issues on banking. They still can’t tell us where the money is that the prior or his administration spent.
3.8% increase in the governments operating budget year over year.
4.No plans to pull all troops out of Iraq. Estimates now are that our troop involvement will last past 2015 per Obama’s plan
5. Plan to increase troop levels in the Afgan conflict
6. No plan to get the eco Nazi’s out of the way of controlling our nation’s energy policy
7. No plan to address the inflow of illegal immigration. In fact, it appears that his movements are about opening the boarder and increasing our risks & cost to tax payers.
