Unless it’s my pork!

Barack Obama on “Meet the Press:”

“What we need to do is examine: What are the projects where we’re going to get the most bang for the buck? How are we going to make sure taxpayers are protected?

“You know, the days of just pork coming out of Congress as a strategy, those days are over.”

Yeah! All Pork will now emanate from the White House.

“We are not going to simply write a bunch of checks and let them be spent without some very clear criteria as to how this money is going to benefit the overall economy and put people back to work. We’re not going to be making decisions on projects simply based on politics and — and lobbying.”

You know, like I did when I was a Senator.

“It makes no sense for us to shovel more money into the problem if you have not seen an auto industry that is committed to restructuring — restructuring that, frankly, should have been done 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago,” he told reporters.

“It makes no sense for us to shovel more money into the [economy] if you have not seen a [Federal Government] that is committed to restructuring — restructuring that, frankly, should have been done 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago,” he [should have] told reporters.

Despite the nation’s massive debt, Obama said he won’t be focusing on building a balanced budget at the start of his administration.

…or the middle of his administration.

…or the end of his administration.

“We understand that we’ve got to provide a blood infusion to the patient right now to make sure that the patient is stabilized. And that means that we can’t worry short term about the deficit. We’ve got to make sure that the economic stimulus plan is large enough to get the economy moving,” he said.

Let’s dissect what Mr. Jimmy just said. We have to make sure to print and/or borrow so much money that the economy will have to get better?

“But the overall thrust is going to be that 95 percent of working families are going to get a tax cut and the wealthiest Americans … are going to give up a little bit more,” Obama said.

Over 30% of Americans already have a zero federal income tax liability. Ah, there’s the problem, Mr. Oprahma sir.

You can’t do math.
