Line 7: − ==Taxes== − On taxes, Obama said, “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” The truth is that Obama has already raised taxes on cigarettes and his proposed budget will cause large energy-tax increases. <ref>http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/03/03/kerpen_obama_budget/</ref> Line 79:

==Transparency==
:Obama and senior Democrats have been telling the American people that this will be the 'most transparent' government in history. The exact opposite is the situation America finds itself in. Instances of information withheld [http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18969.html] [http://www.barackobamaon.com/index.php/articles/280-barack-obama-quotes] [http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3093534]
''"Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the white house counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law. '''Information will not be withheld''' just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency"''
==Taxes==
:As Obama raises taxes on the rich, on companies, on energy and reversing the Bush tax cuts (aka raise taxes) -- he did in fact take a pledge not to raise taxes.
