Is this "honest" like his promises to make his administration "transparent" and then shutting it down tighter than Bush even dreamed of?
Is this "honest" like his promises to keep all those e-vile lobbyists out of his administration and then going on to hire as many of them as he could get his hands on?
Is this "honest" like his promise to shut down GTMO? Oops, I see that's still open.
Is this "honest" like his promise to forsake "Extraordinary Renditions?" Oops, I see he's just signed off on keeping those available.
Is this "honest" like his promise to not allow the use of torture in his administration? Oops, he's signed off on that too.
And let's not even get into his warrantless wiretap stuff and his embracing of other Bush policies that he "honestly" promised never to do.
So, with such "honesty" abounding in the Oval Office you should be able to understand why so many other folk don't exactly trust the guy as he racks up the deficit at a faster rate than any other President in US history.
