Obama Clause and his bag of promised goodies.

Politics: I find it interesting that in the last week of the election the MSM is now taking a gander at Obama's promises and wondering how the hell will he pay for it all.

ABC's Jake Tapper who lists all the things Obama has promised will happen.

Obama Claus October 30, 2008 11:00 PM Once you get past the soaring oratory, to experience a speech by Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is to be hit with an astoundingly lengthy list of promises. "I don't know how any reasonable person" could think he'd really be able to accomplish everything he's pledging to do, said the mother-in-law of a colleague, a Missouri woman who intends to vote for Obama.

AP's Calvin Woodward points out the bleeding obvious.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office. Obama's assertion that "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond" the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are - beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
