" Obama Will Agree to 9,000 Earmarks " - AKA: " MORE PORK "

Sunday, March 1, 2009 6:34 PM

President Barack Obama is set to sign a $410 billion spending bill
with some 9,000
earmarks — a practice he repeatedly criticized on the campaign trail
last year.

Dismissing the congressional pork as “last year’s business,’’ White
House chief of
staff Rahm Emanuel said Sunday that the president wasn’t happy with
the earmarks.
But, Emanuel said, Obama would nevertheless sign the bill.

Republicans criticized the increased spending and the abundance of
earmarks, which
account for $3.8 billion of the omnibus.
