:President-elect Obama's transition cabinet includes over 40 registered [[lobbyist]]s.

:Barack Obama’s ban on lobbyist contributions will limit the haul from fundraising dinners to congressional Democrats, but organizers have found a way around it: a morning-after event at the same hotel where lobbyists — and their money — will be welcomed with open arms.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23872.html Democrats dodge ban on cash from lobbyists] Politico, June 18, 2009</ref> ''“Your voices should speak louder than the whispers of lobbyists.”'' said then-Senator Obama.

''"Sen. McCain bragged about how as chairman of the Commerce Committee in the [[Senate]], he had oversight of every part of the economy. Well, all I can say to Sen. McCain is, "Nice job. Nice job." Where is he getting these lines? The lobbyists running his campaign? ... I'm not making this up, you can't make this up. It's like a ''Saturday Night Live'' routine."''

:The [[Iraqi]] surge was a complete success approved by President [[President George W. Bush]]. For , for which [[president-elect]] Obama said ''“Now, '''I had no doubt''' — and I said at the time, when I opposed the surge, that given how wonderfully our troops perform, '''if we place 30,000 more troops in there, then we would see an improvement in the security situation and we would see a reduction in the [[violence]].”'' '''

''“I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there in fact I think it will do the reverse. I think it takes pressuire pressure off the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accommodation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution to the problems we face there. So I am going to actively oppose the president’s proposal… I think he is wrong.”''

:Obama and senior Democrats have been telling the American people that this will be the '"most transparent' " government in history. The exact opposite is the situation America finds itself in. Candidate Obama made a calculated policy to withhold information, to be secret like no other candidate before him. Expect more of the same over the next four-years.

:Like his use of '"change'", Obama often talks about hope. After winning the presidency, a constant stream of negative financial statements have come from the White House. "Our economy is badly weakened", "We are experiencing an unprecedented, perhaps, economic crisis", "A bad situation could become dramatically worse", "The statistics every day underscore the urgency of the economic situation", "This is a continuing disaster for America's working families", "Rarely in history has our country faced economic problems as devastating as this crisis", "The economy is in desperate straits", "A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe." <ref>[http://ztruth.typepad.com/ztruth/2009/02/quote-from-president-obama-on-the-economy.html Quotes from President Obama on the economy] zTruth, February 5, 2009</ref>

''"We can't drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times."''

For the first 50 days of his presidencythe Obama regime, the following appeared on the White House website, "President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush..."

Hillary Clinton offered a sarcastic reply when asked about Cheney's request this week to declassify documents showing the "success" of harsh interrogations, "It won't surprise you that I don't consider him a particularly reliable source," Clinton said with laughter before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/22/clinton-stopping-iran-nukes-world-imperative/ Clinton Takes Aim at Cheney on Interrogation Memos]Fox News, April 22, 2009</ref> Accusing the Bush administration of creating "a misguided experiment" that created more threats to America, Obama told an audience at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., that the Guantanamo facility will be shuttered. "We are acutely aware that under the last administration, detainees were released only to return to the battlefield. That is why we are doing away with the poorly planned, haphazard approach that let those detainees go in the past," said Obama. The Obama regime increased its budget deficit projection to over $1.8 trillion and blames former President Bush. In fact, Obama did not inherit the budget but presided over it. “Punish your enemies.” “Get in Their Faces!” "Responding to a private dinner guest in May 2010, agreed there is a 'subterranean agenda' in the opposition to his presidency that is rooted in race."
