The whole "earmark" outrage was faux - created by the media who followed a pseudo-issue originated by John McCain. Judging by Obama's reaction to the argument in the debate (he rolled his eyes, shook his head and laughed), it's clear he doesn't think earmarks are the debbil. On the contrary, he knows what they do.
-- Retzilian

Actually, the earmark outrage was about those special projects which were "earmarked" after the legislative process was complete and the Bill was passed without them being specifically included.

Those kinds of earmarks are not good.
