Today's trio down memory lane, courtesy NRO:

Obama, back in March 2008:

"We can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress' seniority, rather than the merit of the project."

Or, you know, maybe we can accept that process, at least for a little while longer. Today:

Obama administration officials Sunday announced that despite expressed "concerns" with the billions in earmarks contained in the $410 billion omnibus spending bill — and campaign pledges to "slash earmarks by more than half" — the President would sign the bill.

Taxpayers for Common Sense says the bill contains 8,570 earmarks at a cost of $7.7 billion."

Try not to laugh....


I couldn't help laughing after reading, your inane post. Let's talk about the last 8 years of the Bush pork barrel, from the purchasing of deadly trailers, by " his " Homeland Security modeling crew for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, to his 1 Trillion Dollar malfeasance in the Bush Blunder in Iraq. Why wasn't that included in your laughable post ? How about the 5 Trillion add on, your hero contributed to the national debt, which now stands at 10 Trillion Dollars !! I regret to say, that all of you, Republicans, at the moment, are the national joke. Leave Two-Ton Rush at the head and I will guaranty you, even more laughs !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.
