House Dems to Obama: You can’t tell us to limit earmarks!

House Dems to Obama: You can’t tell us to limit earmarks!

This one’s a LOL:

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md, insisted Tuesday that Congress, not President Obama, would decide whether to put more limits on earmarks in upcoming spending bills.

Asked about a statement by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Monday that the Obama Administration was formulating guidelines for earmark reform, Hoyer said flatly, “I don’t think the White House has the ability to tell us what to do.” He paused deliberately and quipped to reporters in the room, “I hope you all got that down.”

Well, for starters, I don’t think they’re going to get much of a fight from Obama when it comes to porking bills up. He’s a willing accomplice.

But on the other hand, it’s nice to know that congressional Democrats apparently aren’t complete Obamamessiah pushovers.

Of course, why would they need to be? Obama’s not going to tell them to be less liberal. They’re all on the same page. It’s not just Obama who wants to move towards socialism.
