How is it that “earmarks” were talked about (negatively) so much during the election, but we now have the largest pork barrel spending plan ever, and it’s supposed to be a good thing?

It’s not. This is bait-and-switch by Obama and the Democrats.

They just are taking their $800 billion in pet spending, putting lipstick on the pig and selling it as ‘stimulus’. All it stimulates is big Government.
