No Time For Earmarks!

clipped from campaignspot.nationalreview.com Secondly, notice Obama is starting to go after Palin: "She's a skillful politician. But, you know, when you've been taking all these earmarks when it's convenient, and then suddenly you're the champion anti-earmark person, that's not change. Come on! I mean, words mean something, you can't just make stuff up." That's amusing, from the guy who requested $740 million in earmarks, steered a million to his wife's employer, and who steered state grants to his buddies like Fr. Michael Pfleger. (Notice the AP is trying to cover for Obama by saying he hasn't requested any lately. Wow, it's almost as if Obama has been spending the past year doing something besides being a senator from Illinois.) A campaign can only really send one message at a time. Notice the headline: "Obama Takes First Shot at Palin." If the story of the day is Obama's shot at Palin, the story isn't any criticism of McCain.
