The wasteful pork spending is 40 % republican PORK projects. So they are hypocrites to begin with . And to stir the economy You NEED TO SPEND. The republican idea now of sa pending freeze is the most insane thing anyone can think of now. Hoover did the same thing that led to a depression. The wasteful spending mantra is all politics appealing to those who are against big government, but not what the country needs right now! We need to spend to get things rolling. How the heck can you create jobs without spending?
And so they are worried about a a few projects???? whats their plan to get jobs back ? hello tax cuts when businesses aren't doing well will not do anything . Spending on projects is exactly what non-stupid economics prescribes for a financial crisis like the one we're currently facing. duh

But Rev, Obama ISN'T filling the hole back in. He's digging it deeper than ever, more than Bush ever dreamed. If Obama actually was filling the hole back in, I'd be ecstatic.

And McCain isn't faking. He's taking the same stance he ALWAYS took on pork You should give him credit instead of mocking him.

Actually Rev it was a combination of Bush and Congressional Democrats that created the budget deficit. What was the deficit when the Democrats retook Congress? What is it now? The Congress passes the budget, so they don't get a free pass by blaming it all on Bush. Look it up, it's in the Constitution. And besides when is $7.7 billion "only".

Figures. Republicans dig a hole so deep no one can find the bottom, then they stand at the opening and bitch at the Democrats when they try to fill it back in. "It's been 6 weeks, why haven't you filled the hole in yet?"

It is the same old. McCain is one of the best at feigning anger….and it's always more entertaining with Mac, when he's feigning anger, to understand the situation he's feigning anger over. In this case, "small potatoes."

The words "wasteful pork spending" can be repeated a zillion times, it matters not. Representatives are sent to D.C. to bring home the bacon. Any person who doesn't recognize this is only fooling themselves. I don't care anything about what GOP clones call "wasteful pork spending", as long as the spending is transparent. And my goodness, especially in such a deep recession. Fiscal responsibility scolds won't help one bit during the Great Recession….they'll only make matters worse, as in 1937.

McCain is 100% correct, and has walked the walk on wasteful pork spending. During economic times like these, inserting $7.7 billion of pork into the spending bill is unforgivable, especially on the heels of the $787 billion porkulus package. If Obama signs the bill, he will break one more campaign promise (pork reform) in an already long line of broken campaign promises (lobbyists, NAFTA, Iraq, ethical standards, transparency, taxes, 5-day waiting period before signing bills). It's hard to believe Obama has only been in office for 6 weeks.

But the Reverend's concern is that some GOP'ers are angry. Figures. I'm much more concerned with the ones who aren't. Some Democrats are getting angry too, as they should be, as we all should be when our scarce resources are being pissed away. It's the same old, same old in Washington D.C.

Maybe McCain can get his fellow Republicans to drop all their earmarks from the bill and then he can talk to the Man in charge.

When you can't tell whether your president is over his head or just plain nefarious it's not a good sign.

Why no vitroil over Obama breaking another campaign promise to get the troops out of Iraq 16 months after taking office? Now it's 20-some months and he's still leaving 50,000 there. Seems like President Obama's policy is more like Candidate McCain's than Candidate Obama's. There is change you can believe in.

Rev in my thoughts what Chris Matthews is doing is reminding us that once more Obama is not doing what he promised to do. He needs to keep his promises. Billions of dollars of pork is not small potatoes.
John McCain is right. Yes there are priorities, but when one of your own powermouths agrees with McCain there must be something wrong with
obama is doing.

Also do really think Rush is the leader of the Reps? This is another twisted libs scam on the people designed to ruin the their opponents integrity instigated through the Liberal media and blogsters. Just like they did to Sarah Palin and her family, Joe the plumber George Bush and Dick Cheney.
They bitch about Rush saying "I don't want him to succeed" when for the past 8 years they did everything possible to make sure that Bush didn't get 1 bit of positive press even though a great deal of his stuff actually did and he had the right ideas all along.

6675 DOW and now they are talking Cap and Trade. Whew, I feel a depression comin on, all the fault of a president that is overwhelmed and to inexpericed for this job. He is now making the decisions and they are not goin well.
