Another example of the empty rhetoric on the campaign trail, that so, so many believed.

Some were not fooled for even one minute though.

Obama Mocked Commissions, Then Established Four - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Quote:
Yet the president's decision to establish a commission to address a problem he described as potentially catastrophic seems odd in light of his earlier criticism of commissions in general.

Here's Mr. Obama on September 18, 2008, not long after the economic collapse: "Senator McCain's first answer to this economic crisis was - get ready for it - a commission.
Meaning, as he said in his remarks, see ya later.

Once A Critic, Obama Now Embraces Commissions : NPR

Quote:
So, now that he's in the White House, Obama is less dismissive of commissions. He has created several of them.

"I would expect if trends continue that President Obama will rely on commissions even more than his predecessor," Zegart says, "because commissions tend to be used more when the existing bureaucracy can't solve a problem."
Yeah, the democrats only have a 70+ seat majority in the House and 58 seats in the Senate.

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he's near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
