God help us!

The screwing continues.

Will anyone in the media ask Obama if he will live up to his “no earmarks” promise? What about his 5 days before signing non-emergency legislation? Will he wait 5 days on this for public comment?

[DHC-2]

Lamar Alexander (R TN) voted for this? I just saw him speaking against excessive spending this afternoon. Snow I expected, why don’t the RePubs in Maine tear up her ticket? At least Graham finally came through on one.

And Washington sings:

We pass earmarks
Yes we do
We love earmarks
Taxpayers, screw you.

re: he will also announce steps aimed at curbing lawmakers’ penchant for pet projects

Sort of like closing the barn door after the pigs are out.

Will Obama hold it for five days of review as he promised? See http://hesnotmypresident.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/make-president-obama-keep-his-campaign-promise/

Oh but he removed that promise from his campaign website!

[jennyjenny]

Anyone have the vote breakdown? Did Bayh and Feingold end up voting for it?

***Obama will sign the measure Wednesday, the White House said, but he will also announce steps aimed at curbing lawmakers’ penchant for pet projects.***

Once again Obama is hedging his words. He said he would eliminate pork, not just “curbing” them. When Obama signs this current bill he automatically becomes a liar.

The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

The one that gets me is the most is removal of the DC School voucher program that kicks two poor black kids out of Obama's daughters private school. That the liberal media can hide this is obscene. And Republicans need to get the two families in front of FNC cameras asking why would Obama do this?

[Wisconsinlady]

Feingold voted nay. Maybe he knew it would pass without him. I’m looking up all the RINO’s names that voted yea. It is disgusting. They are ALL pigs, no matter what party they are from.

Never Re-Elect Anyone

Well, the Federal government is entirely out of control. They’re spending like this because they think that’s what the public wants. The outcome will be that the U.S. will no longer be the World’s greatest nation.

When I was a kid I remember a photo and I always wondered how it felt for people in 1930 Germany to pay a wheelbarrow full of marks for a loaf of bread, we soon may know.

["Obama will sign the measure Wednesday, the White House said, but he will also announce steps aimed at PAYING LIP SERVICE TO curbing lawmakers' penchant for pet projects."]

Clarified.

[FlyingEagle]

Shameful. Washington is spending like $100 billion a week. Pigs on crack.

I can already see the commercials for the 2010 elections. They will be full of Odrama saying how he will not allow earmarks, followed by an oh really, panning to Odrama signing the pork infested earmark budge of 2009.

Thank you Mister president...

[dervish]

Must have been major pork in there for Mississipi. Both Republicans voted for it.

[BellStar]

With a loophole allowing billions in economic stimulus funds to go to some 300,000 construction workers who are in the country illegally.
