Obama: Not One Earmark In This Omnibus Bill

At the end of last month, the house passed the $410 billion omnibus bill. While President Obama told us, "there is not one earmark in this bill", we weren't so naive as to take him at his word.

Here is a partial list of where your hard earned money is going (all for your benefit, you know!):

$1.7 million for a honey bee laboratory in Weslaco, TX
$346,000 for research on apple fire blight in MI and NY
$1.5 million for work on grapes and grape products, including wine
$173,000 on asparagus production in WA
$206,000 for wool research in MT, TX, & WY
$209,000 for efforts to improve blueberry production in GA
$208,000 to control a weed known as cogongrass in MS
$1.2 million to control cormorants in MI, MS, NY, & VT
$1 million to control mormon crickets in UT
$162,000 to control rodents in HI
$17.5 million for the Franklin D. Roosevelt presidential library
$22 million for the John F. Kennedy presidential library
$2 million for the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library
$1.8 million to conduct research on swine odor and manure management in IA

Is this what all hard working Americans have worked so hard for?
