can you hear me now?

america - how much more can you take? when are you going to listen and realize what's going down? wake up out there. the wool is being pulled over your eyes as the following quote and clip illustrate.

from the press conference last night, obama says: "I know that there are a lot of folks out there who've been saying, 'Oh, this is pork, and this is money that's going to be wasted,' and et cetera, et cetera. Understand, this bill does not have a single earmark in it, which is unprecedented for a bill of this size. ... There aren't individual pork projects that members of Congress are putting into this bill."

the bold italics are mine for emphasis in light of the following clip.

Wow, that bill is so full of sneaky stuff it's scary. There is a bunch of health-care "reform" that they were talking about on Fox Business last night. With 600+ pages they don't expect the "people" to take the time to know what's in it, and unfortunately, most people really don't care. Sad.
