Administration budget chief Peter Orszag told ABC's "This Week" the White House wants to get the $410 billion spending bill done and "just move on."
March 2, 200917 yr No, no, no. He very clearly told us during the State of the Union Address that there were "no earmarks" in his proposed legislation. Orzsag needs to be fired, he is not reading the morning talking points.
March 2, 200917 yr When you have as many worshipers as Obama has (especially the media), you don't need to keep promises. Obama has the Midas Touch. Everything he touches is golden.
March 3, 200917 yr Nope. I was always sceptical of his campaign. His past record did not support his promises.
March 3, 200917 yr Isn't this the omnibus bill that was already put together or as Rahm says "last year's business?" I heard the President say that his recovery bill would have no earmarks.
March 3, 200917 yr A new bill running thru September 30, 2009 is hardly "last year's business" as Rahm is trying to portray it.
March 3, 200917 yr A new bill running thru September 30, 2009 is hardly "last year's business" as Rahm is trying to portray it. When does the omnibus bill get structured? Does it go upto the final minute?
