Barack Obama: “Absolutely, We Need Earmark Reform”
BlogCritics in Politics ^ | December 16, 2009 | Christine Lakatos

Posted on 12/17/2009 6:51:17 AM PST by calfit32

Business as usual in Washington: So much for "Hope and Change", just control and more debt.

During the first presidential debate Senator John McCain and then Senator Barack Obama argued over the earmark issue, and Obama pledged, "Absolutely, we need earmark reform. And when I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely." Hold your applause please; I'm just getting started!

People forget at election time that politicians will say anything to get elected. They need to look at their records. Oh. Wait. We weren’t allowed to see Obamas. Nevermind.

let’s assume for a minute that he didn’t lie...that his statement “And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.”

we should then assume that he went “line by line” and made sure that everything passed he has approved as money spent wisely.

call him on it.

make him either say he lied and didn’t go line by line OR he considers silly porkX, silly porkY, & silly porkZ to be wise expenditures.....

The problem is that when the two Senators with the largest dollar amount are Richard Shelby and Thad Cochrane then we lose a lot of credibility.

He’s such a blanking dunce. The POTUS does not have LINE ITEM VETO, even were he to be so inclined to be concerned about excess spending.

Obama is Cloward Piven all the way.

Actually he's not a dunce. Most of those that voted for him are because they didn't see who he is even after he told Joe the Plumber and they don't know what a Prez can and can't do.

Obama is dangerous. He disarms people by appearing to be stupid. He's not. He knows exactly what he's doing.

What’s the difference between the Obamaloon and a used car salesman?

With the car salesman, at least you get a hunk of metal that may or not work.

I saw Mitch McConnell's name show up on a number of earmarks, as well. 100 pages of earmarks!!!

He’s deadly dangerous because he’s a true believer, but I don’t think he’s brilliant or even very smart. All of his slip ups have come from speaking off the teleprompter.

He was sold to the voters as a packaged product and thanks only to the news media, the public wasn’t allowed to see inside the package and to this day, the package is still wrapped.

He’s arrogant as all get out. Imagine giving himself a B+ on national TV!!! He knew he could get away with it because the news media remains largely on his side.

Oh I don’t think that he’s brilliant. But how smart do you have to be in order to destroy a country that you hate? He only needs to be a sly liar and that doesn’t depend on brilliance.

Oh yes, he's a most accomplished liar. A charming and charismatic evildoer. He's the enemy within. The One the radical Left has been waiting for (or grooming) and now he's CIC and POTUS.

Unbelievable.

Rebellion before destruction!
