Obama Betrays Campaign Promise to Label Genetically Engineered Food

[roody]

In 2007, Senator Obama, campaigning for the presidency in the Democratic primary, promised to label genetically engineered food.

Now, if you write the Obama for America campaign about GMO labels, you get this response:

"Genetically modified crops hold out the promise of benefits like increased production and reduced reliance on pesticides. At the same time, some Americans want more information to help them choose their food. President Obama understands these concerns and is considering additional steps in this area."

What? How can he flip his position like that? What makes him believe Monsanto's lies? Why isn't he listening to the 9 out of 10 voters who want GMOs labeled? Is there anything we can do to get him back on our side before November?

The first step is to give Barack Obama a piece of our minds! Bill Maher did on his show last week, when he called the President out for breaking his campaign promise on GMO labels and putting Monsanto's Michael Taylor in charge of food safety. Please tell the Obama for America campaign what you think about broken promises.

1. The first step is to give Barack Obama a piece of our minds! Really?

I guess the second is vote for Romney?

5. Why address the issue?

When the lame response gets the same results.

Yes, President Obama has not delivered on every issue he said he would. I won't question that. But, he is better than Bush, I feel he has been better than McCain would have been and will be better than Romney.

I see the Republicans march in step with one goal of making Obama a one term president, not caring for the American people just get the black Socialist Muslim out of office. I see support for Romney with little or no question from the Republicans no matter how many times he flip flops on an issue, no matter how many times he dodges questions no matter how many stupid things that come out of his mouth. I go to freerepublic.com and see utter garbage written about Obama, but I have never seen any complaints about Romney.

Then I go to DU and read OPs which could just as easily be on freerepublic.com I do get frustrated. When I hear Democrats sound as if they are in support of Romney I get frustrated.

I understand loyal opposition or whatever constantly pointing out Obama's failures is considered but there becomes a point when loyal opposition is just plain opposition.

If Obama gets a second term, go right ahead and point out each and every failure and apply heat for the next four years.

Why point this out when I get my point through by asking why not vote for Romney?

6. I have no plans to vote for Romney.

This post is about genetically modified foods. I do plan to vote for truth in labeling gmos in California.
