Barack Obama, Says one thing...Does another...


Picked this up from my son's blog:

Barack Obama, Says one thing...Does another...
I thought I would add a little more partisan flavor back to my blog, so here's an effective critique that I came up with for Obama.

Barack Obama pledged that he would accept public funding, yet now he turns it down.
Says one thing... does another...

Barack Obama pledges to be a post-partisan candidate, yet the National Journal ranks him as having the most liberally partisan voting record.
Says one thing... does another...

Barack Obama claims that he floats above the old divisive game of racial politics, yet for 20 years he sat in and contributed $40,000 towards a church that spewed racial hatred into his community.

Barack Obama claims that he is going to bring government reform and end corruption, yet he received a special real-estate deal from a slumlord and convicted felon.
Says one thing... does another...

Barack Obama claims to be a proud American, yet he holds his own event in the home of political friends who committed acts of terrorism against the United States and have never repented.
Says one thing... does another...

Barack Obama claimed that he would renegotiate NAFTA, but sent surrogates up into Canada to reassure their government that he had no intention of doing such.
Says one thing...does another...

Words may matter, but so do actions. Can we really trust Barack Obama?
