…You’re only a Year Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Barack Obama is tough on earmarks! Just like he campaigned.

White House budget director Peter Orszag says the Obama administration isn’t happy with the billions of dollars aimed at lawmakers’ pet projects – also known as earmarks. Obama had campaigned on changing the way such money is appropriated by Congress.

Gosh darn it. The President’s not happy. So he’s going to use his Veto power, right?

Nope.

Yet Orszag says Obama doesn’t want to revisit the spending bill Congress put together before he was elected and wants to move on. Next year, according to Orszag, when Obama is fully involved in the next budget from the start, earmarks will be handled differently.

Sure they will. It takes more than a year to grow a spine does it?

That’s Change^® you’ll just have to wait for.
