So President Obama has approved another gigantic spending measure, this one loaded with billions in pork-barrel pet projects. And the best he can do is call the measure "imperfect." And the real kicker: According to an AP story, Obama "sounded weary" about all the criticism of earmarks, adding that his promise was to curb, not eliminate, them.
Well he didn't "curb" anything in this bill, and if he refuses to put his foot down during these tough economic times, he'll never get tough. As for His Royal Weariness, now he knows how true conservatives feel about him ... and it's not even two months into his presidency. He's developed a terrible habit of whining/sighing -- remember, this is the same president who got snippy with a reporter during his first week in office, and who thought a New York Times reporter was joking when he asked Obama a question regarding socialism.
And what the hell does he expect to hear concerning earmarks? "Way to go, O! That's a nice, fat pig you got, there -- and just in time for Easter!"? So much for change. Newsweek has a story out describing how those in the American "establishment" (for example, corporate Americans) are already growing weary of Obama's act. Maybe the Average Joes across the land will soon get the message too.
