I read this morning that Obama is now in favor of getting rid of earmarks. Makes me want to rethink my position on the issue...
Just like the White House issues a trial baloon in support of extending the existing tax structure then Obama himself saying he is against it? Yea, right. Never go against logic no matter who it is that says they are for it. When the rubber meets the road, he will nuance another position on it in seven different ways, in essence voting Present again.
Of course, Obama is in favor of getting rid of earmarks. It gives the executives more control over where federal money is spent.
