You have got to be kidding me.

Obama who said he would veto any bill that came to his desk if it has any pork or earmarks is now changing his mind.

Sources at the WH has said he will sign the bill if it comes to him.

Sad day in America when someone says he will sign a bill that if full of junk that will cost taxpayers a trillion dollars.

Will this be the nail in his coffin if he signs this after promising never to sign a bill that has pork in it?

What a leader he is. Not!

Obama is a 'girly man' (to borrow another girly man's expression - our CA 'beloved' Arnold) He will sign anything if you stare at him hard enough.

McConnell and Boehner promised "no earmarks" when they lied to get votes, than essentially yelled "suckers!" to all the ignorant that voted for the republicans. The republicans have loaded this bill 10-fold over the democrats with pork, but Obama is a coward and a closet republican.
Though what i don't get, is why the right are attacking the president that supports the republican pork loaded bill

This bill contains many of the items that have been blocked by the republicans in congress for the last year (by not letting even a discussion on the bills), but at this point it is either sign it or shut down the government. While there is a some pork, most of it is what is needed to run the government. If you want a country without a government, try Somalia. It works so well there.


Hopefully the new senate will change the rules of the senate to end the stupidity of the current (somewhat unconstitutional) method of filibusterer.

You are incorrect.

They can pass a continuing resolution to take this up in January.

Hey, the dems had control when this was suppose to be done in October, so why rush it now?

SOME PORK????

Have you even taken the time to get the facts?

6600 pork projects is all.
