Want to know what Barack Obama likes in the way of earmarks? He's released a full list of his requests for fiscal 2006 and 2007.

Joe | Monday, March 17, 2008 | 04:25 PMOne good thing, at least he was required to report the earmarks and your one of the few or only magazine-websites that showed the whole list. What does this mean about the average voters?
Even when the politicos report their own errors, practically no one cares or listens. I mean it seems like great apathy on intelligence side of the voting public, when less than 1% knows the list of earmarks of candidates they vote for. Ignorance is bliss.
Pathetic.
