During Nobama's campaign he stated numerous times he was going to ban earmarks and talked negatively towards them...until now, he said today they were OK. Of course under his guidence of course.
He also has signed 17 executive orders since being elected. This guy thinks he is a dictator. What an a$$hole.

Pike ridge that is typical BC anything to avoid the truth, the question, the correct answer. Your chances of getting any credible information from that one is less than none. Full of opinions and accusations but no information.

If I am not mistaken, isn't some of the largest earmarks from republicans? I know not all of the party did this, but some did. I also know Obama broke yet another campain promise to stop earmarks. Not a surprise.

You are right Tinywoods , about 40% of the earmarks came from republicans. It is obvious both parties have some losers. The fact is though that none of those guys from either party promised to do away with earmarks, that falls sqarely on Obamas shoulders.

This is some of the funniest stuff I've read.
We don't want pork, but we tag on pork. And, it's obama's job to stop us and if he don't, it's his fault... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have you guys heard the latest? The world has found W's weapons of mass destruction he was look'n for. It was the USA it's self!
The bombs were wrapped up in packages by the capitalist and then pushed and sold by the speculators like crack and the whole world became addicted.
Now, the whole world is in rehab and the good ole tax payer is footing the bill... :lol:
They're all on the steps of capitol hill now begging the Gov. to protect them from themselves and put them on the 12 step program... fire, more fire...the heat is not hot enough yet! to the burning fields you vermin, the wheat must be separated from the chaff... :angryfire:

Quick question JB. Do you have the dollar amounts yet? I've only got partial figures so far but it's looking like Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky are leading.
