NY-23 Winner Breaks 4 Campaign Promises in 1st Hour in Office

Notably, of course, all affecting Congressman Bill Owens' former opposition to ObamaCare, which melted away just a few minutes after he was sworn in today at noon by Nancy Pelosi as NY-23's brand-new Congressman.

• Campaigned against the public option. Now for it.
• Campaigned against cutting Medicare. Now for it.
• Campaigned against ObamaCare coverage for illegal aliens. Now for it.
• Campaigned against raising taxes and taxing health care benefits. Now for both.

Just three days ago, on Tuesday, Democrat Owens won NY-23's special election for Congress, beating Conservative Doug Hoffman by 4 percentage points after the Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, withdrew from the race and threw her support to Owens. Other Owens supporters include members of ACORN's Working Families Party, which endorsed him.
