A No Bid Contract To..... Shocker, Halliburton Subsidiary KBR!

Remember these words from candidate Obama in 2008?

"I will finally end the abuse of no-bid contracts once and for all," the senator told a Grand Rapids audience on Oct. 2. "The days of sweetheart deals for Halliburton will be over when I'm in the White House."

Two months after being in sworn in he signed a memorandum to "dramatically reform the way we do business on contracts across the entire government."

Another Obama statement with an expiration date on it.

Obama is awarding a 568 million 'no bid' contract to Halliburton subsidiary KBR Inc.

May 6 (Bloomberg) -- KBR Inc. was selected for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011 for military support services in Iraq, the Army said.

Another example of "watch what he does", not what he says!
