    Obama signs $410billion bill in PRIVATE

    So this is any better than Bush? This administration is the height of hypocrisy. What a joke.

    President Barack Obama signed a $410 billion spending package Wednesday that includes billions in earmarks like those he promised to curb in last year's campaign. Obama signed it in private. He declined to answer a shouted reporter's question about why.

                          So he signed it without a press presence. Who cares? The congress passed the measure and sent it to him for signing. He signed it.

                          Why is this hypocrisy? Do you know what that word means?

                              Everyone can make fun of Splum... but isn't this relevant? Didn't this guy get elected for his promises about "Change" about vetoing any bill with ear marks, about transparency and so on?

                                  isn't it hypocritical to run on a platform of a new era of openness and transparency and then not be open and transparent?

                                      Sure is. I'd have to say he just made a critical error.

                                              I won't judge him too harshly on this bill for two reasons.
                                              1. they say it is a holdover from Bush and they need to sign it to keep the government running. Fighting all the earmarks would be a fruitless battle. They make up 1% of the bill and it could take weeks if not months to get them out. He said today that this was the last of the holdover stuff and from here on out there will much more transparency in how they do things. We will have to wait and see if he means that or if he is just saying that.

                                              2. As he says many of the republicans who are criticizing him for signing a bill filled with pork and earmarks have their own pork and earmarks in the bill and now that it is signed they will run home to their states and tout these programs and the money they got for them. So it is kind of hypocritical on that front.

                                              From here on, now that all of the old business is taken care of we will see if he really means to be transparent and do things in the public eye like he says or if he is just talking a good game and hoping people won't check up on him.

                                                  it was discussed before signing it wasn't it? what has the actual physical act of signing got to do with openness and transparency?

                                                      1. they say it is a holdover from Bush and they need to sign it to keep the government running.

                                                      yes it was created over 6 months ago.

                                                      however, these "earmarks" also include projects that have been funded already through the "stimulus plan"

                                                      so not only is he doing something he said he wouldn't do... but many of these things are being funded twice.

                                                      2. As he says many of the republicans who are criticizing him for signing a bill filled with pork and earmarks have their own pork and earmarks in the bill and now that it is signed they will run home to their states and tout these programs and the money they got for them. So it is kind of hypocritical on that front.
                                                      1) republicans criticizing him for signing a bill with ear marks has zero relevance to the fact that HE said time and time again that he would VETO any bill with ear marks.

                                                      That was part of the "change" he was being elected to make happen

                                                      2) republicans are also assholes and the problem is the system as a whole is fucked where if you don't grab the money... someone else will

                                                      3) Only 1% ? "Only" really? what is the number? it's something like almost $8,000,000,000.00?

                                                      you mean that right now... today... that EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS has no other practical use?

                                                      That's an astounding thought.

                                                              They don't want to hear it man, most people are all loyal to their "party." Obviously most people in the porn industry are "liberal democrats," whatever that really means, so they are going to defend Obama and this administration no matter what. The Bush administration was fucking everything up and now the Obama administration is fucking everything up, same shit, no change.

                                                              Transparency my ass, the Federal Reserve is still doing whatever the fuck it wants and won't give any information to congress, they are basically operating in secret.

                                                              Ron Paul has introduced a new bill to audit the Federal Reserve, but how much do you want to bet that it will go unnoticed by all the pieces of shit in congress?

                                                                  however, these "earmarks" also include projects that have been funded already through the "stimulus plan"

                                                                  so not only is he doing something he said he wouldn't do... but many of these things are being funded twice.
                                                                  I will admit that I didn't know there were things being funded twice. If that is the case then those things should have been removed from this bill before signing it.

                                                                  1) republicans criticizing him for signing a bill with ear marks has zero relevance to the fact that HE said time and time again that he would VETO any bill with ear marks.

                                                                  That was part of the "change" he was being elected to make happen

                                                                  2) republicans are also assholes and the problem is the system as a whole is fucked where if you don't grab the money... someone else will

                                                                  3) Only 1% ? "Only" really? what is the number? it's something like almost $8,000,000,000.00?

                                                                  you mean that right now... today... that EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS has no other practical use?

                                                                  That's an astounding thought.
                                                                  1. My point was that both parties are being hypocrites here and I saw nobody bashing the republicans. They have tons of earmarks in that bill, yet they are bashing Obama for signing the bill. As I said before this wasn't his bill so his not following through on vetoing it is not that big of a deal to me. It is kind of like if you get hired to do a job and when you start the job you realize that the person who previously had the job fucked a lot of stuff up. You can either fight hard to try to fix those problems or just admit that the damage is done and your energy is best spent stopping this from happening in the future. I'm not forgiving him. He did say he would veto any bill with earmarks, but I kind of give him a pass on this one since it was not his bill and started under the previous administrations watch.

                                                                  2. I agree the republicans and democrats are equal assholes and it is sad that the system is built in a way where senators and congressmen are forced to grab and compete for money and if they don't get it someone else will. It is fucked up and there has to be a better way of doing this. There needs be a clear cut way where we can tell what is pet "pork" earmark and what is a legit request for money to fund a program/project.

                                                                  3. There are probably many different ways that money could be better spent. It is a huge number. I was trying to put it into perspective. People are talking like the spending bill is 90% pork earmarks when that is just not the case. And out of those earmarks how many are legit requests for good programs/projects and how many are just junk and efforts to bring more money to a state? It is an enormous amount and the money could probably be put to better use, but it isn't like the entire bill is made up of these earmarks.

                                                                    Comment

Obviously most people in the porn industry are "liberal democrats," whatever that really means, so they are going to defend Obama and this administration no matter what. The Bush administration was fucking everything up and now the Obama administration is fucking everything up, same shit, no change.

                                                                                                  Are we safer? No. Saddam was never going to attack us and now we know he never had WMDs or any kind of reasonable military.

                                                                                                  Do we have access to all the oil that is there? No. Supposedly this oil was going to pay for the reconstruction of the country, but last I checked we are playing for the reconstruction of the country.

                                                                                                  Did we eliminate terrorism? No. Sure we killed some terrorists that came into the country to fight us, but I think for every 1 we killed our invasion and occupation of that country created 10.

                                                                                                  So we are out trillions. We have lost around 6,000 soldiers with many more than that permanently disabled. The estimates are that between 100K and 300K civilians in Iraq have been killed. Sure we got Saddam, but was it really worth it and what have we gained from it?

                                                                                                              And for people that think it's pork that make the budget so big it's less than 1% of the budget. Military, vet beefits, mediciad, medicare, social security interest on the debt is the VAST majority of the federal budget.

He wasn't a threat. By th way how much are my taxes going to increase because tens of thousands of formally healthy young people are dead or wounded and can't work and have to be on government help the rest of thier lives because of this war?

I guess we all better be good little citizens and keep our mouths shut, it's not good to question the all-mighty messiah.

They brought in some blatantly idiotic fool to purposefully fuck things up, then brought in what the people thought was their "savior" and basically did whatever the fuck they wanted because the people supported anything the "savior" did. I forget the exact names now but obviously you can look it up if you want.

McCain made the "I'll make them famous" statement all the time, but I don't recall Obama being all that aggressive against earmarks. I certainly don't remember him ever saying he would put an end to them.

                                                                                                                                          To paraphrase an Iraqi interviewed a few months back on TV, "Freedom is nice, but what good is it when you haven't had water or electricity for five years?"

                                                                                                                                          And to come to the conclusion that they are happy based on how they act in front of the camera, you could put a camera in the most ghetto part of the US and the kids will act happy just because they get to be on camera. In Iraq there is also the effect gifts are having on the kids (candy, soccer balls, etc...). In places where soldiers don't give them anything, the kids throw rocks at them.

I don't know the details, but there is a way they add ear marks to a bill anonymously... i believe this is what he was talking about specifically.

                                                                                                                                              Obama said time and time again that he would not sign any bill with ear marks. This was a big part of the campaign, the babble about government waste, deficit spending etc.... and he didn't add any earmarks to any bills last year because of this very reason.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the first woman speaker in the history of Congress, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were present. Clinton went further than any woman previously in her campaign for the presidency, although she ultimately lost the Democratic Party competition to Obama."
