  • Obama and Biden Voted for "Bridge to Nowhere"

    Now that the Democrats are rabidly attacking Sarah Palin over the Alaskan Ketchikan bridge, claiming she lied about shutting down the project, it might be a good moment to point out that both Barack Obama and Joe Biden voted for the Bridge to Nowhere. Though Gov. Palin originally supported the earmark spending on the Bridge, she eventually killed the project choosing to spend the Federal money on other infrastructure programs. However, Sen. Biden and Sen. Obama voted for funding the Bridge, even when given a SECOND chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.
