As an update to my earlier post about Palin's claim that she and McCain would post the federal budget online the same way she did it in Alaska, I found this on Wikipedia.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 was introduced by Republican Senator Tom Coburn, for himself and Barack Obama, Tom Carper (D-DE), and John McCain. Shortly after it was introduced, a "secret hold" was placed on the bill by none other than Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. Coburn outed Stevens in August 2006, who admitted to placing the hold on August 30. and the hold was released. President Bush signed it into law late September 2006, with Obama (not McCain) attending.
Earlier this year, Obama, along with Coburn, Carper, and (again) McCain, introduced the Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Federal Spending Act of 2008.
Sarah Palin was elected in 2006, took office in 2007, so she certainly wasn't a pioneer in the area of budget accountability. Not only is she not a reformer, she a copycat.
Is there no end to this woman's lying pathology?
