Obama, in his press briefing tonight, claimed of the economic stimulus bill, "What it does not contain, however, is a single pet project, not a single earmark, and it has been stripped of the projects members of both parties found most objectionable."
Interestingly enough, the sentences seem at odds. First, he claims that there is not a single pet project or earmark. Then, he claims only the "most objectionable" have been removed.
I don't believe either of these things. The final bill (which hasn't even been written yet) will be chock full of pet projects, earmarks, and things that people in both parties find objectionable.
The real question is the political fallout that the Obama administration will face from cramming this unpopular piece of legislation down America's throat.

I think he is pathological. I just can't believe that someone could lie so much and not think the least thing is wrong with it.
He is reminding me less and less of FDR and more and more of Bill Clinton. Guard the interns!
This whole thing is disgusting and today it came out that they buried nationalized health care in the bill .
Also, if you haven't already located it, the entire pdf of the bill is found here:

778 pages and NONE of it is pork? I can't believe how stupid this smug bastard actually thinks we are.
