If you missed this post, there is a link to a blog that is compiling 1001 reasons to vote against Obama. There are at least 600 reasons so far. But as I reviewed the first 100, which I included in my linked post, I came across a classic Obamaism that deserved special attention. The promise …

Following on the heels of Tim’s post about the tone deafness of the Senate (just scroll down) and the massive trillion dollar (that’s $1,000,000,000,000.00) case of bi-partisan domestic spending abuse known as the Omnibus, I thought you might like to see the list of Senators who are still abusing the “privilege” of adding earmarks even though the populace has made it clear we no longer want legislators doing that.
