Do you think OBAMA will ever keep his promise of transparency?

It drives me absolutely insane that Obama campaigned so hard on the concept of transparency. Now he states that he is going to set up a website for earmarks (sorry if spelled wrong) so we can see exactly where the money is going. Do you think he will stick to his word? Or, is his word becoming meaningless, because he has not kept one single promise thus far? He wasn't even going to sign a bill that contained earmarks, but he did. Healthcare was going to be transparent, but of course we all know how that has gone thus far...even going so far as having backroom deals to buy votes. His campaign now seems to be have been based on lies and keeping his radical liberalism at bay just to get elected. So, do you still believe what comes out of his mouth these days? Is he even trustworthy anymore?

The number of flat out lies in the State of the Union Address alone... please! If he went all transparent well he'd be cooked! He says one thing and does another... here's a good video on this I found on YouTube all this stuff in his own words.

He boasted in a speech recently that his administration put the White House visitors logs on the net for all to see. He didn't mention that he refused to release those visitors logs until MSNBC and CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) filed lawsuits to force them to release those logs.
Transparency, my Aunt Fannie.

He's got a trend of breaking promises and flat out lying. I don't see him stopping anytime soon. The best we can do is hope people stop listening.
