Yeah, he's changed his mind on eliminating earmarks
Uhm that would be the same as the republicans accusing Obama of socialization and big government spending, wellllll 41 billion dollars worth of earmarks between 25 Republican Senators.

The fact that senators from EITHER side have no shame in the slimy business of earmark pork spending means that OBAMA has NOT brought change to Washington...
Irresponsibile spending is more fashionable than ever with Obama in office!

Well, gee whiz, I guess it would be super easy to commit to a pledge "no earmarks" if none or only a couple of senators stuck them in. Maybe he thought the presidency would be easy like Bush did?

Can someone send me a link or a clipping of where Obama placed a timeline on changing any of these Senators?
President Obama has started change for our country. It began before he took his oath of office, when he started change.gov asking for input from the people. Here are just a few of the changes we have already seen in the first 50 days.
1. Obama started the change by beginning the transparency in goverment. They have only started this and we will be seeing lots more about this soon. You can look at Recovery.gov. We will be able to see who's names are on which projects and where the funds is going.
2. President Obama already admitted to making a mistake and apologized for it. When did we ever see a president do that?
2. Obama asks us for input of ideas and comments on the policies
3. We will no longer torture prisoners.
4. He has keep his promise to end the ban on stem-cell research
5. Change in education has started- among the changes we'll be seeing a change in required school hrs/days per school yr.
6. Turning towards being a greener more self-reliant country -important for our future

I guess that's how we found out that half of the people he chose to run his cabinet were under investigation for one thing or another...

I have never heard of this. Where do I submit my ideas? Do I have to be a union member with a Democratic voting history to prove that I am loyal?

yea right... Obama 'symbolically' shutting down GITMO in a couple years is hardly a substantive. It's all about appearance and narcisistim with Obama.

The teachers unions have Obama's Secretary of Education on a leash. More quota-based spending is the last thing our education system needs.

That sounds like a poem.... What about facts, numbers, EVIDENCE??? Lofty rhetoric is not REAL CHANGE. Creating hundreds of thousands of new bureaucrats is not the answer, although Obama seems convinced that it is...
