BO breaks another campaign promise. He promised many times during his campaign to crack down on the use of no-bid contracts. So why is a no-bid contract awarded for $24 million to Checchi and Company Consulting? Because it's owned by Democratic Party donor Vincent Checchi? This is yet another promise that BO has broken. He also pledged to close Gitmo within a year of taking office. Thankfully he broke that one.
Didn't he also say we would be out of Iraq within 6 months of him taking office? LOL
And here's another
statement from him during his campaign:

When the White House releases his budget proposal Monday, there will be no money for the Constellation program that was supposed to return humans to the moon by 2020. The troubled and expensive Ares I rocket that was to replace the space shuttle to ferry humans to space will be gone, along with money for its bigger brother, the Ares V cargo rocket that was to launch the fuel and supplies needed to take humans back to the moon.
There will be no lunar landers, no moon bases, no Constellation program at all.

TMF would say anything to get elected. Either he was too naive to do what he wanted, or he would outright lie to get himself into office. And he's still lying when he says he wants to increase our competitiveness, increase skills in math and science, create jobs...
