Kettle: You're Black

From a McCain blast memo:

While Governor Palin was cutting wasteful projects, Barack Obama was requesting nearly $1 billion. In just three years in office, Barack Obama requested nearly $1 billion in earmarks - over a million dollars per working day.

This is true.

Also true: Sarah Palin requested slightly more per working day than Barack Obama.

Also true: Sarah Palin requested almost 9 times more per capita than Barack Obama.

Also true: Obama has requested $0 this year.

Also true: Sarah Palin has requested nearly $200 million for the 2009 fiscal year.
