Whats another $410 billion and 10% annual raises for Congress? Omni-porkulus passes.

With Hussein Obama expected to put his big “O” signature on the omni-porkulus bill that unfortunately passed tonight, I would like to give a middle finger to the following “Republicans”:

Shelby
Murkowski
Snowe
Cochran
Wicker
Specter
Bond
Alexander

From Yahoo:

WASHINGTON – Congress on Tuesday sent President Barack Obama a once-bipartisan bill to fund the domestic Cabinet agencies that evolved instead into a symbol of lawmakers’ free-spending ways and penchant for back-home pet projects. The Senate approved the measure by voice after it cleared a key procedural hurdle by a 62-35 vote. Sixty votes were required to shut down debate.

Obama is expected to sign the measure Wednesday to avoid a partial shutdown of the government. But the White House has kept the bill at arm’s length, calling it last year’s business. Obama is also set to announce steps aimed at curbing lawmakers’ so-called earmarks.

The $410 billion bill is chock-full of those pet projects and significant increases in food aid for the poor, energy research and other programs. It was supposed to have been completed last fall, but Democrats opted against election-year battles with Republicans and former President George W. Bush.
