Too many earmarks, Mr. President

There should be a law that when running for government office if you make a promise you should have to keep it or you are out of office right away. President Obama promised no earmarks in his campaign, and already he has signed more than 9,000 earmarks attached to the bail ut money. Helping the car companies and the mortgage companies should have been all that was in the bailout bill. He is way overboard with his spending.
