Obama Violated Another Campaign Promise - Part 2

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama has violated another campaign promise, via giving a $500 million dollar no bid contract to Halliburton. One of Obama's campaign promises was not to issue government contracts without bids, as bidding gives the taxpayer the best value for their dollar.

President Obama violated this promise in February 2010 as well, rewarding a campaign donor with a lucrative no bid government contract, as acknowledged by the U.S. State Department.

Considering enriching Halliburton via stolen oil and rebuilding contracts, under former President George W. Bush, is the sole reason the war in Iraq has been fought in the first place, this latest decision is a real slap in the face to taxpayers.
