Change?

It's not just republicans and conservatives that are watching Prsident Obama's massive spending plans with caution.

Members of his own party are calling for the President to reduce spending by vetoing bills full of "pork-barrell" earmarks.

Se. Russ Feingold (D-WI) says the President promoised to lower spenind by eliminating earmarks for local projects.  So far, according to Feingold the President has failed to do so.

Feingold voted against the nearly $500 billion Omnibus Bill and the $600+ billion Pentagon Bill.  Both of these were full of billions in earmarks for unrelated or unneccsary projects.
