Question: If 40% of the earmarks are residuals from Republicans, WHO is responsible for the other 60%? I don't remember "W" running on a platform which so clearly stated he would change the system and do away with "pork".
Another comment above talked about Obama signing the bill to avoid making war with Congress: Let's see, House clear Democratic majority, Senate Democratic majority with just enough Republicans to be a pain, and President Democratic. If there is a war doesn't this imply politics as usual, where's the change (or beef)?
