February 25, 200917 yr I didn't watch it. I have a weak stomach. A friend chatted with me on Facebook while he was watching it and said he had so much sunshine blown up his nether regions that he wouldn't have to pay for electricity to light his house for a year.

February 25, 200917 yr Unfortunately, I watched the entire speech. I noted one MASSIVE lie when Obama noted that the stimulus bill didn't contain earmarks. It does. Also, a new bill is currently on the floor regarding new bank bailout spending which contains over 9000 earmarks. Edited February 25, 200917 yr by titletownclown
February 25, 200917 yr Author See, Obama is saving the country and its people money already ace, you are funny when you want to be. Anyone watched Jindal talk? He was going after everyone in Washington....

Also, a new bill is currently on the floor regarding new bank bailout spending which contains over 9000 earmarks. What earmarks were in the stimulus plan? At what point does funding of some sort become an earmark?
February 25, 200917 yr Author What earmarks were in the stimulus plan? At what point does funding of some sort become an earmark? Good point. The idea of "Economic Stimulus Package" is so incredibly vague and broad that an argument can be made that anything isn't pork.
February 25, 200917 yr Good point. The idea of "Economic Stimulus Package" is so incredibly vague and broad that an argument can be made that anything isn't pork. Is an earmark automatically pork?
February 25, 200917 yr Author Is an earmark automatically pork? I'd argue so, unless it is directly related to it. Good bye, BGP!
February 25, 200917 yr What earmarks were in the stimulus plan? $2 billion earmark to re-start FutureGen, a near-zero emissions coal power plant in Illinois that the Department of Energy defunded last year because it said the project was inefficient. • A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film. • $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters. • $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees. • $125 million for the Washington sewer system. • $75 million for "smoking cessation activities." • $75 million for salaries of employees at the FBI. • $25 million for tribal alcohol and substance abuse reduction. • $100 million for reducing the hazard of lead-based paint. One of my favorites • $110 million to the Farm Service Agency to upgrade computer systems.
February 25, 200917 yr Senator McCain sure seemed to agree with most of it on CNN with Larry King. Went on to say Obama is dealing with a lot of mistakes from the last admin and the repubs probably deserved what they got this election. It was nice to see the humble side of McCain.
