While running for office in 2008, Senator Obama said We can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress' seniority, rather than the merit of the project.
Yet when faced with his first real test of conscious, he signed into law an omnibus spending bill with roughly 9,000 earmarks worth more than 5 billion dollars. Now the liar-in-chief has another opportunity to veto pork. But will he?
With Cap & Trade and Healthcare still to be enacted, will the President risk losing support for his agenda by forcing Congress to toe the line? I truly doubt he has the courage to change the way Washington works.
