Taxpayers for Common Sense says the bill contains 8,570 earmarks at a cost of $7.7 billion. An estimated 60% of the earmarks are from Democrats, while Republicans requested the remaining 40%.
Americans are facing an economic crisis that is bordering on the verge of becoming a depression, thus, with 60% of the earmarks coming from Democrats and 40% from Republicans, is there really a difference between these two parties anymore?
Obama said ” I am proud we have passed a recovery plan free of earmarks.” REALLY?

Obummer just FARTING in the wind about earmarks again.
This just makes you sick, while at the same time showing you where Washington stands. What their REAL PRIORITIES are. It has just gotten down to a street fight for power in the Congress -— America’s real needs be damned.
Flush DC
Whenever the republicans show bipartisan they get their hands bit and a big kick in the ass from liberals. As for liberal bipartisanship, thats just an oxymoron. It doesn’t exist. So republicans might just as well be obstructionist!

Ditto’s!
In the interests of honesty, we should note that the majority of these earmarks (including what the GOPers are mostly adding) were defence related. Not that this justifies doing budgets through continuing resolutions, of course.
