They’ve repackaged the story at CNN Politics with the new headline:
Obama budget director: We’ll cut pork after ‘09 spending bill
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/08/obama.earmarks/?iref=mpstoryview
“[Such bills] will not happen when the president has the full legislative and appropriations process in place,” Peter Orszag, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told CNN’s “State of the Union with John King.”
He argued that the White House had little choice but to support the $410 billion omnibus spending bill, which it inherited from the previous administration. The bill would keep the government running through 2009.
“This is like your relief pitcher coming into the ninth inning and wanting to redo the whole game,” Orszag said. “Next year we’re going to be the starting pitcher, and the game’s going to be completely different.”
LIARS.
