Ok, so maybe the title of this article is a bit misleading but not by much. President Obama is within days of signing the Omnibus Spending Bill that not only increases government spending by 8% but also contains close to 9000 "Earmarks". If you dont remember what Earmarks are, these are add ons to the federal budget that were not debated and many are considered the purest form of pork.
Wait a minute, didn't President Obama promise a stop to this evil earmark spending?
So what kinds of things will you be spending your money on with these earmarks? How about $1.3 million to study pig gas odors? Ted Kennedy has asked for $5.8 million for the design of a building and an endowment fund.
Lets face it, if you were a Republican in the last two elections it was hard to get elected due to the fact that a majority of Americans did not approve of President Bush.
President Obama, you made the American people promises we intend for you to keep. You promised us change. This Omnibus Spending Bill with all of it's earmarks is not the change we were promised. Keep your word and lead us out of these dark times.

Dean, looks quite like what you said. It is a just the price of democracy. Obama is good at marketing but he lacks basic skills to MANAGE a country. Now let everybody miss Mrs.Clinton.
Dean, yes, I think so. But again, they are politicians and we can not fully trust any of them. In my mind, the Clintons understand economics more than Obama. At least they hired the right economists.
Thank you so much for your post. I truly everyone needs to start paying attention to what is actually being said by the leaders of our country and what is actually being done.
I would really value your opinion on my latest post. It is an amazing story that I think you would like to read. Here is a link.
Dean - there has been change, my 401k has lost half it's value since the election, that is big change. And, to be fair, 40% of the earmarks are republicans who haven't quite seen the light.
Mike, I think the problem is both a Republican and Democrat issue. The problem as I see it is that we have the wrong folks in Washington representing both parties. The point I was trying to make was that Obama was very direct regarding his commitment to eliminate the earmark process and that doesnt seem to be happening... Lets home it does... Thanks for the post.
