Obama Signs 'Imperfect' Spending Bill Away From Cameras
$410 Billion Omnibus Bill Has Nearly 9,000 Earmarks Worth $8 Billion
President Obama acknowledged today that he signed an "imperfect omnibus bill" but told Congress to clean up its act when it comes to pork-barrel projects, better known as earmarks.
The president signed the $410 billion pork-laden spending bill behind closed doors and away from the glare of the cameras.
"I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill because it is necessary for the ongoing functions of government. But I also view this as a departure point for more far-reaching change," President Obama said in a speech on earmark reform.

Holy shit, a politician signing an 'Imperfect Bill'? For shame, for shame. What is the world coming to. A Politician that actually signed a bill that isn't totally 'fuck me in the ass' bad, just 'I shit in your dining room' bad. I guess we are just ready to watch the world die, here we come December 10, 2012

Signing a bill so that you don't have to shut down the federal government. It's an atrocity.Originally Posted by DigitalDave

not every bill has to be signed in front of the public. As much as I despise all the frivolous spending and wasteful pork, this is not a watershed event to unmask anything devious by Obama.

Yep, 9,000 earmarks would have shut the federal goverment down if fuckwad had not signed it. Give me a break.
One year ago this week, then-Sen. Obama swooped in off the campaign trail -- along with then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. -- to vote for a bill that would have banned earmarks for 2009.
"We can no longer accept an earmarks process that has become so complicated to navigate that a municipality or nonprofit group has to hire high-priced D.C. lobbyists to do it," the then-junior senator said of the amendment that overwhelmingly failed.
The president criticized earmarks during his campaign and vowed to reduce them.
"I've pledged to slash earmarks by more than half when I am president of the United States," he said in Green Bay, Wis., last September.
