Did Obama really say there were no earmarks in the stimulus bill at the GOP meeting on Friday?
Perhaps we should call them special interest projects.

I added Malikin just because she has a reasonable list. Obama was talking about the Stimulus bill. These all relate to the Stimulus bill.
During Obamas campaign, he stated without reservations, he would NOT sign a Bill that had any “pork” projects in it.
When the Stimulus was passed because of Obamas “scare” tactics and it was learned that there was almost 300 BILLION in “pork” and special interests, he “shrugged” it off, with a clown smile, “Yes, some did get through, BUT the Bill itself will put our economy on the right path……”
Obama is the only POTUS I can remember, who would tell a bald faced lie, with that stupid wide grin.
