Maureen Dowd speculates:

Then she notices that Obama has let slip his pledge to comb through spending bills "line by line":

In one of his disturbing spells of passivity, President Obama decided not to fight Congress and live up to his own no-earmark pledge from the campaign.

He’s been lecturing us on the need to prune away frills while the economy fizzles. He was slated to make a speech on “wasteful spending” on Wednesday.

Be not like those who preach of precious prudence,
but blow through budgets like besotten students!
