OBAMA: "Not a single pet project," he told the news conference. "Not a single earmark."
THE FACTS: There are no "earmarks," as they are usually defined, inserted by lawmakers in the bill. Still, some of the projects bear the prime characteristics of pork — tailored to benefit specific interests or to have thinly disguised links to local projects.
For example, the latest version contains $2 billion for a clean-coal power plant with specifications matching one in Mattoon, Ill., $10 million for urban canals, $2 billion for manufacturing advanced batteries for hybrid cars, and $255 million for a polar icebreaker and other "priority procurements" by the Coast Guard.

So, I ask you Lowell, if Mr. Obama wishes to bankrupt the coal industry as a whole like he state in pre-election rhetoric, why is he wiling to give so much money to them? And, if Global WARMING is such a huge problem, why give money to the Coast Guard for Polar Icebreakers...the ice is melting...Right?
Thanks buddy.

I meant the first comment.
