There is no need to read the article the fact that anyone would create such a headline speaks volumes about how horribly disinformed we are by the media.

1. The pusillanimous Democrats in Congress have made such a headline possible |
|
with their inability to stand up to Commander Codpiece. They ought to look at their approval ratings - it's hard, hard to go lower then the Puppet-in-Chief, but they manage.

Moreover, he announced an executive order directing executive agencies to ignore any earmarks that are not voted on and included in a law approved by Congress.
Most earmarks are slipped into the final reports on bills to direct funding to local projects like bridges, highways and schools, never having been debated on the floor or voted on by lawmakers. But Bush denounced the practice, declaring that “the people’s trust in their government is undermined by congressional earmarks.”
“If these items are truly worth funding, the Congress should debate them in the open and hold a public vote,” he said.
Aides said Bush decided against making his order retroactive to expenditures in the current budget for fear of igniting a political uproar at a time when he is pushing Congress to quickly approve, without changes, his $150 billion proposal to stimulate the economy.

Repub prez and Congress for years enacted all they wanted, and Repub earmarks and lobbying were out of control - DeLay, Abrhamoff, etc. They got us in, now they'll blame Dems 'till he's out. Come on Dems in Congress, don't play defense on this.
