Obama Administration Steers Lucrative No-Bid Contract for Afghan Work to Dem Donor

Before anyone jumps up and gives the standard "Yeah, yeah...Bush did it all of the time, too." response, may I remind you that Bush did NOT say that he wasn't going to during his campaign...

But, by contrast, Obama DID repeatedly yell from highest mountain that this sort of behavior wouldn't happen during his presidency...

I'm sure there were no-bid contracts throughout the presidencies of the last 10 presidents...if not longer...But ONLY Obama condemned the practice and attacked his predecessor for it...

Clinton didn't attack Bush41 for them and announce an end to them if elected...

Bush43 didn't attack Clinton for them and announce an end to them if elected...

But Obama DID attack Bush43 for them and announced an end to them if elected...

So the no-bids contracts aren't the issue here (although I'd assume most people would disagree with them when there are multiple organizations and companies that can do the work...as is the case here)...

The issue is that...ONCE AGAIN...All of Barack Obama's statements come with an expiration date...

This is not a right/left thing...It's an "honesty of the president" thing...and these are the kinds of things that the INDEPENDENTS get angry at...and why they're walking away from their original support in droves...

Yep, go to keep those wheels greased. Nice to see that the "enlightened" liberals are no different than anyone else.

I remember a wise old man once said something to the affect that all obama promises come with an expiration date.....Can't think of who said it, but he sure was wise!
