He wasted one trillion dollars on Welfare and Pork and now he is telling the mayors not to waste the Welfare and Pork money. Do not waste the waste. If this whole thing is not so damaging to our country we would be writing jokes about this from now until the end of the world.

So define “Waste” Obama. Does that mean the entire system of government is to answer to you as to what is “wasteful” and what is not?

Asking is correct. And you are correct.
This is the largest SWINDLE from the TAXPAYERS and he is making himself SOLELY to answer as to how this GENERATIONAL THEFT is to be spent.

If Bush used the nomenclature “call them out” he would have been castigated as being that rogue, dumb, cowboy.
But, President Porkula can get away with it, you determine why.
