Obama has signed yet another massive spending bill loaded with earmarks.  He campaigned saying he was against earmarks but this new bill has close to 9000 earmarks in it.  Of course he can do no wrong.  Somehow he blamed it on Bush, and claimed it marked the end of irresponsible spending.  That wasn't the Saturday Night Live parody, that is what he said.  How much longer can he blame Bush?  The campaign is over but the finger pointing has not stopped.  For some reason I don't believe a word this man says.  When he says the era of earmarks is over while passing 9000 thousand of them is like an alcoholic saying he is on the path to recovery while downing some Jack and Coke.  He knows he can say one thing and do another because his buddies in the media won't report on what happens but what he says.  If I only listened to Barry and didn't watch him I would think he was terrific, but again I am cursed with a brain.  I see what is really going on.  Unfortunately a great deal of Americans love rhetoric.  As long as the words coming out of his mouth make them happy, then all the crap pouring out of his pen can be ignored.  I won't ignore it and I won't let others ignore it.  Please, if you care about what is going on don't let it be ignored.  Let people know the truth.  They will ignore it as long as possible but once the truth effects their lives the scales will fall from their eyes.  As the coach of my favorite football team, the Cincinnati Bengals, likes to say, "I see better than I hear."  Keep your eyes open and report it.  Do not let it go unnoticed.
