Obama claims the stimulus has created a bunch of green jobs. Well, if you are wearing an orange jumpsuit, that is.

Let’s see . . . . how many campaign promises has Obama broken in his short six months in office? I am not sure I can count that high, can you?
1. Transparency - he promised transparency in government – haven’t seen that one yet. They are still screening his town hall meetings (doesn’t the definition of that mean that anyone can come an ask any question? Aparently not!).
