Obama; Read my lips "NO MORE EARMARKS"

Well we all heard on the campaign trail from Obama that he would not allow any earmarks. If you look in the omnibus spending bill you will find $7.7 billion worth of earmarks. The 8,500 plus earmarks must have been too much for Obama to reject or he was lying on the campaign trail. He recently explained, "Done right, earmarks have given legislators the opportunity to direct federal money to worthy projects that benefit people in their districts, and that’s why I’ve opposed their outright elimination.” Did he just come to this epiphany on earmarks? I doubt it. He is just another politician saying whatever needs to be said to win an election. Here are a few examples of the kind of earmarks in this bill, $190,000 Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Cody, WY for digitizing and editing the Cody collection, Barbara Cubin is the sponsor and $143,000 Las Vegas Natural History Museum, Las Vegas, NV, to expand natural history education programs. Sponsored by Harry Reid. Do we really need a Las Vegas Natural History Museum? So what do you think of the Pres. and our government spending your hard earned money on stupid stuff like this when the economy is in the shape it is in?
