“I will finally end the abuse of no-bid contracts once and for all. The days of sweetheart deals for Halliburton will be over when I’m in the White House.”
“I will end unnecessary no-bid and cost-plus contracts. … In some cases, contracts are awarded without competition. … And that’s completely unacceptable.”
Quote:
That was then; this is now. Last week, the Army revealed that KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, was awarded a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through next year. This deal was announced only hours after the Obama Justice Department informed the public that it was joining a suit filed by whistleblowers who allege KBR used kickbacks to get foreign contracts.
This isn’t the first time the O Force broke its pledge against no-bid contracts. On Jan. 4, Checchi & Company Consulting, a Washington-based firmed owned by Democratic donor Vincent V. Checchi, was awarded a no-bid contract of more than $24 million to train lawyers and judges in Afghanistan.
what a lot of people and obama supports dont realize is there are no other American co. that con do what haliburton does on the scale that it does.
How can you have open bids when there is only one qualified bidder ?
p.s.
But Bush did it too !
and clinton, and Bush etc...
and they did it before the outbreak of WW2 ...I have watched combat footage of Japanese troops over running a supply depo and Halliburtons name is all over the place must of been in the Dutch East Indies.

According to the article, the Army made this decision. I'm pretty sure the Army doesn't run to Obama for every decision it makes ... if any.
Then, unless I'm reading it wrong, when the administration found out about it, it joined a lawsuit against the Halliburton subsidiary.

So, uh, what's the big outrage for? It's exactly the opposite of what the OP claims. Is it just a slow day in Obama Hater World? He hasn't beat up any orphans or anything lately?

Obama is Commander and Chief the buck stops with him remember ?
He justs likes to beat up anybody that doesn't agree with his Marxist ideology.
Thanks for the three year old article, OP. what's happened since?
Obama is lying over and over again...see Obama doesn't know where he is going nor where he has been on issues hoping the public doesn't notice his flip flopping ...he is like a fish in stagnant muddy water.
