Transparency. Hope. Change. It's all Bullsh*t and Lies!

Seriously, I can't take it anymore!

Our President a bigger Bullshi*ter than Clinton!

“We can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress’ seniority, rather than the merit of the project,” Barack Obama in a speech last April.

“I think you can take one sign of the president’s seriousness on this that there aren’t any [earmarks] from him that I know of in that omnibus largely because there weren’t any that were requested last year,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday.

CQPolitics.com reports:

Funny how items show up in spending bills without any notice — like an earmark for a president who promised not to seek any.

President Obama, who took a no-earmark pledge on the campaign trail, is listed as one of dozens of cosponsors of a $7.7 million set-aside in the fiscal 2009 omnibus spending bill passed by the House on Wednesday.

Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Obama is arrogant, radical, dishonest and dangerous.

Piling on the Pork: Outrageous Legislation in Omnibus Bill
JEFF FLAKE: Believe me, some of — some of my colleagues and myself have been arguing this for years. It was devastating today when the Democrats were able to come out and say, "Well, Republicans have 40 percent of these earmarks," and it was true. And we really can't separate ourselves from the Democrats as long as we continue to do this. So I'm with you there. We just can't get our colleagues to do it...

“The least they could do is kiss us.”

Speaking of kissing, I wonder how long it will be before Congress and Pelosi are kissing Obama’s ring.

Why is anyone surprised to find that Barrack Obama is a liar. The man perpetrated the biggest fraud ever to be passed on this country when he was sworn in as President without his being a Native-born American.

What do we know of his education ,his thesis and so many other things in his life he has kept hidden.

Wake up America we are being sold down the tubes by two idiots named Reid and Pelosi and their leader Barrack Hussein Obama.

What's sad is Lindsey Grahmnesty is taking earmarks. Rick Santorum, for goodness sakes, is defending earmarks.

If Republicans would just stop with the f-ing earmarks we could draw a real distinction with the Dems!

Michael Steele told Glenn Beck that he was going to "get in the face" of Repubs that played these games but no such luck yet...

Conservatives need to unite and stop bickering.

Lindsey Graham has done more for Conservatism than people like you will ever do.

And that’s not saying much.

Wish I could take credit for that. Another poster here had that in his text... I asked if I could “borrow” it... did not get a “no”... so I used it. It does describe me, though... to the tee.

Well--FR did honor Lindsey along with the other wonderful republicans who worked for and succeeded in impeaching klinton for his unethical behavior-his lying ( and inappropriate use of our Oval Office ) was creepy and cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees and time. He should have to personally pay it back.

Obama is a LIAR, too. I HATE it when a PRESIDENT tries to FOOL his people. What an animal he is, and he LOOKS EXACTLY like a chimpanzee, no wonder the race baiters are up in arms over the recent cartoon.
