Let’s not forget today’s DELAY of budget numbers—delayed a month so they can shove health care thru before having to show how scary the numbers are....

Can we find out if these companies who got all this pork are big Obama cronies???

[visualops]

That kind of quantity no way should one be paying retail. Unless you are an idiot or a price gouging POS.

“How is Tom going to explain 1.1 million spent to repair the door of bldg 5122?”

I believe that is an aircraft hangar door. But keep their feet to the fire ... remember the ‘80s toilet seat, hammer and ash tray?

Obama is nothing but Spam in a can.

“How is Tom going to explain 1.1 million spent to repair the door of bldg 5122?”

Could be the door to the Cheyenne Mountain complex, or the door on the big safe in Fort Knox.

The Recovery Act funds referenced in press reports allowed states to purchase ham, cheese and dairy products for these food banks, soup kitchens and food pantries that provide assistance to people who otherwise do not have access to food.

Obozo claimed the porkulus bill was supposed to "create or save" jobs. How does buying hams for soup kitchens create or save jobs?

There is a series of questionable transactions on that list that have a "Completion Date" (column O) of 04/03/2006, FOR WORK APPARENTLY COMPLETED THREE YEARS AGO!

Not surprisingly, the VENDOR IS FROM CHICAGO, 0bummer's home town. It is for work in Washington, D.C., totals over $10,000,000, and is labeled as follows:

"TAS::47 4543::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 5 SECURITY FENCE & GATES"
"TAS::47 4543::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 10 UTILITIES MASTER PLAN PACKAGE""
"TAS::47 4543::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 6 LANDSCAPE MSTER PLAN THRU DESIGN DEVELOPMENT""
"TAS::47 4543::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 7 SITE UTILITIES""
"TAS::47 4543::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 2 - DHS PARKING DECK""
"TAS::47 4543::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 9 SITE UTILITIES""
"TAS::70 0118::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 3 ADAPTIVE REUSE BLDGS.""
"TAS::70 0118::TAS ARRA - RECOVERY PACKAGE 13 - SPACE ANALYSIS FOR THE SHARED USE BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS""

Why is 0bummer paying $10M to Chicagoans for work done three years ago?

What was the work?

Is anyone at the vendor Perkins + Will a connect 0bamma worshipper?

Why is payment for 3 year old work "stimulative"?

[Uncle Miltie]

Why are these two items for the Air Force for about $80K each scheduled to be completed in 2054, FORTY FIVE YEARS FROM NOW?

TAS::57 3404::TAS - PRIMARY ELECTRICAL TO SUPPORT DAY STREET GATE PROJECT
TAS::57 3404::TAS - PRIMARY ELECTRICAL TO SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION OF COMBAT SKILL TRAINING SITE

How is spending 45 years from now "stimulative?"

Too bad for Vilsack that Louise Beavers (the cook in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House) has died ...

Otherwise in defense of ham, he coulda trotted her out to deliver her famous line, “If you ain’t eating Wham, you ain’t eating Ham.”

[Boardwalk]

Why pork?

Would Muslims have to eat the pork too? If not, what is the food the government proposes to feed that population or is this thing racist?
