Flashback Obama 2008: 'I Will Make It Impossible' To 'Slip' Last Minute Pork In Bills

Speaking at a campaign event on September 22, 2008: “I’ll make our government open and transparent so that anyone can ensure that our business is the people’s business. As Justice Louis Brandeis once said, sunlight is the greatest disinfectant. As President, I will make it impossible for Congressmen or lobbyists to slip pork-barrel projects or corporate welfare into laws when no one is looking because when I am president, meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. No more secrecy.”
