I have written over and over again that the amount of promises made by Obama while he was campaigning were going to be very hard to keep while in office. Part of my mission when starting this site was to expose the fact that his urge to appeal to every sector of America will eventually expose him as the fraud that he is. The question is, will anyone in the Republican Party remind him of these failed promises and most importantly his embracing of many of W’s policies after he was elected when he decides to run again for another term? That is up to the Republican Party, the candidates running against him and anyone who considers themselves a Republican.

In the meantime, I point these issues out. From Time/CNN regarding the a recent decision regarding the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and the United States Military:

James Pietrangelo II, the former Army infantryman and lawyer whose case the high court declined to review, reserved most of his ire for President Obama instead of the court. “He’s a coward, a bigot and a pathological liar,” Pietrangelo said in an interview with TIME shortly after the high court declined to hear his appeal. “This is a guy who spent more time picking out his dog, Bo, and playing with him on the White House lawn than he has working for equality for gay people,” he added. “If there were millions of black people as second-class citizens, or millions of Jews or Irish, he would have acted immediately” upon taking office to begin working to lift “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” Pietrangelo fought in Iraq in 1991 as an infantryman, and returned as a JAG officer for the second Iraq War, before being booted out in 2004 for declaring he was gay as he was readying for a third combat tour. He was representing himself before the high court.

His words, not mine.

It gets better: The endorsement of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” by the Administration marks the latest rightward tack by Obama. The President denounced many of George W. Bush’s national-security policies during the campaign, but in office has adopted more conservative positions, including endorsing military commissions to try purported terrorists, and declining to release a second batch of photographs depicting alleged U.S. maltreatment of Iraqi detainees. His stance on “Don’t ask, don’t tell” may be more surprising, because Obama aides have made clear the President wants the ban lifted eventually.

Pietrangelo doesn’t buy the line from Obama aides — and the Pentagon — that they’re too busy grappling with a faltering economy and two wars to handle the gay ban right away. “It’s a complete lie that he has too much stuff on his plate — this is the guy who criticized Bush for not being able to multitask,” Pietrangelo says. “We have an old saying in the military — the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters.”

Pietrangelo may not buy the line from the administration that it has more pressing matters, I do and I do appreciate the fact that Obama did not bring this issue to the forefront in this time of crises. However, you cannot control the courts and when cases are presented and Obama’s DOJ had the opportunity to keep a campaign promise and help support its base and it failed them. Will they remember?

Now this:

Yesterday, the Secretary of the state of Georgia, Karen Handel, issued a press release titled: Obama Justice Department Decision Will Allow Non-Citizens to Register to Vote in Georgia!

Protecting the base I guess!
