Mr. Transparency ... nowhere in sight

This is what it says on www.whitehouse.gov: President Obama declares turning point on earmark reform.

Really? He signs a bill containing nearly 9,000 earmarks (about 60 percent from Democrats and 40 percent from Republicans), and he declares it a turning point on earmark reform.

He says it is last year's business (because the bill should have been done last year; not sure why the Democratic-controlled Congress did not pass it), as if it is someone else's fault. Wasn't he in the Senate before he was president.

Oh, yeah, that's right. As soon as he arrived in the Senate he began running for president. It might have been last year's business, but he didn't do the work of the people last year. He was running for president under the guise of being a moderate, reasonable Democrat.
