hearing vs. seeing

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.

Earmarks Redefined

President Obama is assuring the country that his pork laden "stimulus" bill has no earmarks in it.  So to make sure he keeps his promise he is doing the only thing liberals know how to do: Spin.  He is redefining what an "earmark" is.   The Congressional Research Service defines it as "Provisions associated with legislation (appropriations or general legislation) that specify certain congressional spending priorities or in revenue bills that apply to a very limited number of individuals or entities. Earmarks may appear in either the legislative text or report language (committee reports accompanying reported bills and joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference report)."  Using that definition this bill is loaded with earmarks.  Fish Passage Barrels, ATV trails, Golf Carts, and ACORN to just name a few.  Seeing as even the King of Crap himself can't say there are no earmarks using that definition he has to go out and make up his own.  Obama is now saying that an earmark is anything that gets added after the House and Senate pass their individual bills.  So now that it is going to conference Obama is saying that no earmarks will be added.  So not only will he lower the seas and heal the earth but he can change the very meaning of words. This man is going off the deep end.  He will do and say whatever he wants and then gloss over it by redefining what he has said.  Let's just call him Barack "Webster" Obama.  The last time a President tried to give words new meaning they were the words "is" and "sexual relations".  Liberals are so much better than the average person that the have authority over our very language.
