"There are no earmarks."
Well, if he isn’t happy with them, why does he not veto all these bills?
"There are no earmarks."
Face it, we’re all going to be waiting not one year, not two years, but four years.
Wait till next year? Is he so naive as to think the congress is going to act any differently next year. They want their Earmarks and they don’t give a hoot whether or not Obama likes it (Which he did when he was a Senator).
Wait till next year.....We won’t have ANY money left for Pork. Sort of a self fulfilling prophecy.
From what we've now learned - Obama was ALWAYS a liar.
I haven’t seen any articles about a proposal to give Zero line item veto, but it’s been talked about in local news, as Paul Ryan (R-Congress-Wisc) & Feingold (D-Senate-Wisc) have been working on a proposal for it together.
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.
ALL.
