What do you expect from these scumbags in the White House? They announce nice-sounding proposals and reap the benefit from people who want to believe that their (in this case not really) elected officials are on the side of the angels. Then, after getting good press for their announcement - and after the press has turned its attention elsehwere - they quietly do nothing (at best; the exact opposite of what they announced, at worst). Then, whenever anyone points this out, someone who desperately wants to continue to delude himself that the Bushitters are not cynical lying scum, bleats that they should still get the credit for meaning well. But the list of broken promises is staggering: Afghanistan, the environment, veterans, schools, international AIDS funding - all impressive sounding initiatives, all left to rot and vanish - how long can they get away with this cynical manipulation?
