Obey Said What?

Dave Obey was quoted in this Forbes story on spending in Washington.

"The number of earmarks has gotten grotesquely out of hand," said Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee and an avid practitioner of getting earmarks. He said if the fall elections put Democrats in control of the House, requests for such projects will face more scrutiny.

We have a no profanity policy here at Obey Out, so let's just call that bull manure.

It's almost as laughable as the line from the House Minority Leader from San Francisco said if she becomes the Speaker of the House in a Democrat takeover that she would make bi-partisanship a priority. We could hear the people in the room in Washington, DC call "bull manure" all the way back here in Wisconsin.

Democrats spend other people's money with no regard for fiscal responsibility and Democrats complain about Republicans - that's what they're good at. And for 40 years while Democrats ruled Congress they gave Republicans no rights.

Another day, another hypocritical line from Dave Obey.
