1. Promised lobbyists would not find
work within the White House. A week
following his inauguration, a dozen former lobbyists
found lucrative
work in his administration.
Unsurprisingly, they also benefit greatly from his stimulus
plans.
2. Sided with the Bush
administration
against a
lawsuit attempting to locate millions of missing White House emails.
6. Sided
against
the American people with George W. Bush and the RIAA.
7. Continues the Bush legacy of
keeping secrets from the American public, even ones that clearly
pose no
security risk.
8. Has spent trillions bailing out
banks but
balks
at the idea of spending a few billion on the auto industry. It was fun
GM.
13. Legally
established
the power to governmentally lockdown the only truly free dissemination of
information – the internet.
15. Allowed
banks
to lie to make them appear better than they are.
19. Appointed a corporate lawyer who
argued
against companies paying for cleanup and restoration to head up the
Department of Justice’s environmental division.
20. Refused to
cap
executive pay, even to companies owing bailout funds and companies almost
wholly owned by the government (AIG).
22. Is considering a plan for
detention centers to
hold those
who are “threats to national security” but, mysteriously, cannot be tried in
court.
