Mainstream Media Inventing Earmark Promises

Andrea Mitchell just said that President Obama made a campaign pledge to ban all earmarks. When in the hell did that happen? Seriously, can anybody back up her statement because from what I remember it was John McCain who kept harping on earmarks, not then Senator Obama. In point of fact it was Obama who pointed out how little earmarks are when you consider the universe of government spending. And Andrea Mitchell isn't alone with running with this theme. Man this kills me. The mainstream media makes shit like this up just so they can bash President Obama for backing out of a campaign pledge that he never actually made. Is anybody going to correct the record?
