"We are going to ban all earmarks."
~President Barack H. Obama, about the spending bill
In reality, the bill contains about 9,000 earmarks, totalling about $7.8 billion. Thanks, Barry.
I'm having trouble expressing my frustration. So, I'll let Glenn Beck do it for me.

Fantastic. Now about the bill at hand and the pork within:
So not only has Obama allowed earmarks in this bill, but he is actually directly responsible for requesting some of it. But it's ok. He's having his name removed from it.
*sigh*
