President Obama has been in office for 50 days now. Today he signed the omnibus spending bill into law, thereby spending another 400 billion dollars of your money. More importantly, he signed a bill that had 9000 pieces of pork. Even more importantly, Mr. Obama ran vociferously on the foundation of change and cleaning up earmark spending. It was a refrain that he repeated over and over again.
So today, knowing that he was about to sign the omnibus bill and become an outright liar… knowing that his hollow words of cleaning up Washington, of ending pork-barrel spending, of not hiring lobbyists for the cabinet, of… CHANGE… President Obama tried to tell us that this bill was just last year’s news and that Congress had more important things to do… and that not all pork was bad… but we’d get real serious about this NEXT TIME.
Really? Seriously, President Obama? Is this Change We Can Believe In… EVENTUALLY? I don’t remember “eventually” being in that phrase. Sounds like a big broken promise to the Beefboy.
Beefanatics, if you’re keeping count, our new president has spent one billion dollars of your money every hour he’s been in office so far. In normal times that would be outrageous. In the economic environment we are currently in, it’s dangerous… maybe deadly. What’s worse, it’s mostly been spent on bullshit and blowjobs for groups who voted him into office.
I was just as ready for Hope and Change as everyone else in this country, but if you haven’t figured it out yet, President Obama is not any different from any other politician we’ve been saddled with lately… except that some people still believe every word that comes out of his mouth.
After today, I do not.
