President Bush did the same thing in his speech within the last few weeks....producing a hugh stack of paper with the CR on it...with millions of dollars of earmarks.

Did you hear about that???

Is that "legend"...NO...never will be.

Wow, that went over even my head. You are right. Bush just doesn't get due credit.

I think you are referring to this

President George W. Bush places his hand on a large stack of legislative earmarks as he addresses the employees at Micron Technology Virginia in Manassas, Va., Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2007, on the economy and fiscal responsibility. President Bush voiced his concern about earmarks being slipped into spending bills saying, “If Congress is genuinely concerned about spending your money wisely, and I believe most members are, then, they must do something about earmarks.” White House photo by Paul Morse
