I haven't seen the video, but I have listened to the audio (on conservative talk radio no less!) of Obama's comments on earmarks. I really have to say that he sounds really good. I think that if he were in a different situation with the economy, he would have cut a lot of earmarks out on other bills.
His comments on making sure the public and press could see what goes into things is great and proves he's holding true to his promise of (as much as can be expected) transparency.
