Somebody should make a video montage of Obama rallying against earmarks from various speeches and have a ticker running along the bottom itemizing all the earmarks in the Omnibus. The clearer the double-speak becomes to Americans the quicker they will turn on him.

Glenn Beck did that today.

On a much less substantive note, is Michelle growing her hair out? I like.

Okay, so Obama is another lying politician. How many well known lying politicians in the last few elections got re-elected? A bunch. The politicians know that the Public has a lot of wants and if they lie about somethings, even important things, it just gets to be a little noise in the medicine show and they will get re-elected again. Our system of government is much too coarse a filter for such lies and the benefiting powers that be don’t want and will not make “real change”. Lying is just part of the only game in DC.

Wait a minute…you may have something there. Omaha, they owe you 1.8 mil.

My God! How did they forget the study of fish retina!!!

“Obama’s greatest talent seems to be the ability to tell bald-faced lies with a straight face.”

Please. What a terrible thing to say about Dear Leader.

Can he really do it better than Vice- Dear Leader.

Earmarks and pork are bad as long as it is for someone else. But, if it is for me (or my State) it is OK.

Let’s make how we define/classify pork. Living in a Demographic controlled State we get considerable $$$$ from D.C. However, when the funds are strictly for infrastructure projects or other government regulated program. Pork is $$$$$ provided to those programs or projects that have nothing to do with the governance of this country.

It is important that the difference be understood, least we put unnecessary exposure on politicians who are trying to the right thing for their state.

She’s right , and it has to be told and repeated . It will get credit when the pixiedust clears.

And , the debt for these earmarks, How do that help Michelle’s kids.

As long as people think spending=stimulating they don’t get the problem with earmarks.

Obama promised to cut spending, but he has spent $62 bullion since he became president.

Funny how the Dems think thats Ok..but then say George Bush was the biggest spender in history.

Earmarks are a good issue, but they can’t win alone. The GOP can score points talking about earmarks, especially after the spending of the last year. Remember, in the Campaign, remember, Obama promised to cut spending, which is why Maverick’s rhetoric was ineffective, coupled with the fact that all he could talk about were earmarks.

Michelle is a goddess and incredibly intelligent. Anything she says is always right. If you don’t believe that just ask Bill OReilly.

Obama is parsing words like a sleazy lawyer (depends what the meaning of ‘is’ is).

While this cr@p is pure unadulterated PORK, what do you want to bet that it isn’t quite the legal definition of ‘earmarks’? I heard some twit on the radio today with this Wiki definition:

“In US politics, an earmark is a congressional provision that directs approved funds to be spent on specific projects or that directs specific exemptions from taxes or mandated fees.”

The piggy Democrats are in HOG heaven, whatever the legal definition is.

Like Michelle said: it’s a re-election slush funds for incumbent politicians.

Where in the hell is Coleman? We need his vote in the senate and we need it NOW!!!
Funny how that whole story just seemed to fade away when we need to shine the light on it the most!
Jeeeeezzzzzzzz-I could have counted the ballots by myself by now. Are these people that incompetent?…

None of them can be trusted. They manipulate their votes very easily. Vote nay when you know your vote isn’t needed for it to pass. Look good at home and still get the desired results. Can’t believe any of them have any principles they actually believe in anymore. On The Record just had a republican Senator (can’t remember his name) he continually deflected the question about earmarks and went to his talking points. So obvious he didn’t want to have to defend the republicans who represent 40% of them. I don’t care if they are d’s or r’s in my mind they are all A’s.

29Victor on February 25, 2009 at 8:07 PM

Ditto. The criticism of this as ’small fry’ is unfounded. The tolerance of the Republican Party to rubber stamp bald-face intentional lying and falsehoods, during a State of the Union, when the truth was known, is staggering.

My goodness, the left seized upon a sentence in GW’s State of the Union regarding WOMD and beat that drum for a year. Obviously we are cowed by large numbers and the insecure need to ‘get along’.

Republicans own 40% of the earmarks in this new Omnibus bill. I will believe that this party is serious about it’s conservative roots if they’d put it in practice at every turn. Conservatives should demand that every Republican leader who has a pet project on this bill, PULL IT. You want to be voted to represent conservative ideology? Prove it. Until then, you are just another self-serving politician.

Thanks for posting the video.

Michelle is right on, the Chicago Thug knows there are earmarks in those bills and yet has the nads to denounces earmarks. All this proves is that he has very little regard for “We the People”. It is that lack of respect for the people he serves that is galling and this lack of respect should be exposed. The GOP has an opening to separate themselves from the tax and spend majority. They should jump on this opportunity.
