Sunlight Before Signing: Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them. As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.
Shine Light on Earmarks and Pork Barrel Spending: Obama's Transparency and Integrity in Earmarks Act will shed light on all earmarks by disclosing the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark, along with a written justification, 72 hours before they can be approved by the full Senate.
Hmmmmmmmm so how's this working out for YOU ?
I guess since he sounded the clarion call that this current pork laden stimulus bill is an Uber-emergency, then he hasn't "technically" violated his own promises........ Sort of, kind of, reminds me of "It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is."
Remember all that Hope & Change you were counting on ? Yeah, now, not so much.........
