1. "Obama criticized 'earmarks' (pork barrel spending), and urged Congress to change the way it adopts spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill listing nearly 9,000 earmarks, some of them that members of his own staff shoved in last year when they were still members of Congress. 'Let there be no doubt, this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business, and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability,' Obama said." -- McClatchy, 3/11
