A minor story, that should be a larger indication of what Barack will spend money and how he oversee the use of those public funds, is making the rounds today. Good. One more notch to get people to wake up and realize that Barack Obama is the Paris Hilton of politics. Everybody seems to like him because he’s cool, even though he hasn’t really ever done anything.

Obama’s $100,000 garden grant wasted - Chicago Sun-Times

As a state senator, Barack Obama gave $100,000 in state money to a campaign volunteer who failed to deliver on a plan to create a botanic garden in one of Chicago’s most blighted neighborhoods.

Do you want Barack Obama throwing around money for things with no oversight or accountability like his botanic garden and making bad judgments about how to properly prioritize and most effectively use taxpayer resources in Washington D.C., just like he has done in Illinois?
