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

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!

Right up there with 5 days wait between posting on the internet and actually signing the bill, no lobbyists in my administration ...

When you elect a liar you get lies on top of lies ...

The rnc ought to start running the ozero commercials from April to November with all his bullstuff promises. Use his words against him. Then end with with the scene of Moses parting the water, “Behold, his mighty hand”.

LOL. Well, I don’t find his charming or charismatic either, but too many others did. They voted him into office.

I think he’s beyond sickening. I can’t stand to watch him or to hear him speak. I can barely manage to read about him.

When he wants to demean someone and he childishly scratches the side of his face with his middle finger, I want to slap him until spit flies. The juvenile delinquents have taken over DC. ARGGGGH!

Oh, that would be sweet! I’ll see if I have time later today. It’s been a while, but I’ve done a few Photoshops in my time! :)
