Obama Catches Grief for Spending Bill Earmark
Washington Post /Sleuth ^



As Jonathan Allen of Congressional Quarterly reports, Obama, who took a "no-earmark pledge" during his presidential campaign, is listed as a cosponsor of a $7.7 million set-aside in the FY09 omnibus spending bill approved by the House on Wednesday.

Woops. That's not at all what White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.

On Wednesday, Gibbs said of earmarks in the bill, "There aren't any from him that I know of in that omnibus largely because there weren't any that were requested last year."

The request for the set-aside with Obama's name on it was submitted many months ago, when the president was still a senator.

It just came across Glenn Becks desk that the earmakers that Obama put in the bill will not be coming out of the bill BUT his name will be erased from the official record of who put the earmark in. :roll: I guess it's OK to add them as long as there is no official record of it. :wink:

I don't know if you watch Glenn Beck but one of his favorite saying is "this is going to make blood shoot out of your eyes" You can about imagine what he thought of the note from his assistant about Obama removing his name from the official record. After explaining watch was in the new bill and how Obama and Biden both had earmarks after campaigning against them, (he also pointed out that Republicans had earmarks) He picked up the huge bill , Made a comment to Chuck Schumer about caring about the little porky items and then threw it at the camera. :shock: :lol: The assistant picked it up and put it back on his desk and he threw it on the floor again. To say he was mad would be an understatement. :wink:

Later on he had Chuck Norris on and they were talking about gun control and the government and Chuck said he would like to go to Washington line all the Reps and Senators up have the dishonest ones pointed out and then he would walk up to them and say you're fired if they didn't leave he said he'd put them in a sleeper head lock and remove them. I think he could probably make some fast cash by selling tickets don't you?? :wink: :lol:
