Peter Orszag is Wasting Your Money on Earmarks

Let’s listen to Peter Orszag, the White House Budget Director, when asked about yet another despicable waste of taxpayer dollars in the form of the 2009 Omnibus Spending Bill.

Did I just hear a Democrat in the Obama Administration claim to be “fiscally responsible?” I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Wow, Peter. That was one impressive baseball metaphor. Does anyone else feel stupider having listened to this condescending ass? Did he really just claim that the recovery act (AKA the stimulus bill) had no earmarks in it? Did he just say we should just “move on” and spend another $410,000,000,000.00 on catfish research and the science of pig farts?

Where do they get these idiots?

Let me get this straight, this bill in Congress right now, loaded with over 9,000 earmarks and pork spending projects is George Bush’s fault? Gee wiz, Pete, I could have sworn that W stopped being president back in January. Unfortunately for you sir, even most of the American public are not gullible enough to believe that a bill loaded with yet more Democrat pork was somehow George W. Bush’s fault. Please vote these losers out of office in 2010 and 2012. Pretty please, with a big capitalist cherry on top.

Is anyone counting how much money Barack Obama and Peter Orszag have spent?

    Relief pitcher in the 9th inning??? This (insert derogatory name here) clearly has no idea who Mariano Rivera is.

    I have to say, John King grilled Orszag pretty good. But that’s not saying much considering this guy was plucked from a High School debate team 3 months ago.
