TweetI POSTED THOSE EARMARKS QUIRKY FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
TweetWhen the Senate had its chance to stop the Bridge to Nowhere and transfer the money to Katrina rebuilding, Messrs. Obama and Biden voted for the $223 million earmark, siding with the old boys’ club in the Senate. And to date, they still have not publicly renounced their support for the infamous earmark.
Really, Democrats truly believe what they say is more important than what they actually do. Obama’s track record shows, unremarkably, that he’s just like most politicians; sharp-elbowed, willing to pay to play and a certain flexibility on some core principles. But wrap that all in a rainbow flag of glorious utopia and it just doesn’t matter.
Here’s the rhetoric:
“But, you know, when you’ve been taking all these earmarks when it’s convenient, and then suddenly you’re the champion anti-earmark person, that’s not change. Come on! I mean, words mean something, you can’t just make stuff up.” — Barack Obama, Sept. 6, 2008
And here’s the reality:
Meanwhile in Washington, Mr. Obama voted for numerous wasteful earmarks last year, including: $12 million for bicycle paths, $450,000 for the International Peace Museum, $500,000 for a baseball stadium and $392,000 for a visitor’s center in Louisiana.
…
Mr. Obama delivered over $100 million in earmarks to Illinois last year and has requested nearly a billion dollars in pet projects since 2005. His running mate, Joe Biden, is still indulging in earmarks, securing over $90 million worth this year.
