Earmarks? This is funds added to a build for pet projects in districts of the congressperson attaching them. Think about that…..if so, what the hell was the recent stimulus package passed for?
The media keeps punding Obama for the spending bill he just signed. Their main bitch is that it is full of earmarks, about 9000 or so. Now the media is truly concerned because during the campaign Obama said he would eliminate all earmarks, at least that is what the pundits are saying.
Houston, we have a problem. To begin with, during the presidential campaign it was Mccain who spouted the crap about eliminating earmarks. Obama said that he would reform the earmark system and I believe that is what he is trying to do.
The truly silly part about the last bill with all the earmarks that the Repubs are so getting political mileage out of, was full of the earmarks from Repubs. The two biggest came from the two senators from Mississippi. Oh yeah, both are Repubs.
Repubs are just flipping pathetic and should be put on some type of hypocrisy watch.
