Here’s the first installment of my new blog series Classic Broken Obama Promises:

So let me be very clear: when I am President, financial institutions will do their part and pay their share, and American taxpayers will never again have to put their money on the line to pay for the greed and irresponsibility of Wall Street. That’s a pledge that I’ll make to you today, and it’s one that I’ll keep as President of the United States.
(Remarks in La Crosse, WI)

AIG came to the trough four times for 180 billion dollars and then distributed 90 billion to domestic and foreign banks.

Not to be outdone by just one broken promise:

And those AIG executives who went on vacation with taxpayer dollars? They should return to Washington with a check for the taxpayers and be fired on the spot.
(Remarks in Dayton, OH)

Download and read 896 Barack Obama promises to include 42 other broken promises at ideapalooza. You know, this is almost getting to the point of being fun!
