No pork or earmarks in the stimulus bill?

Tonight, Obama changed his tune related to the stimulus bill. Last week he said "when was the last time that a bill of this magnitude went out without pet projects?" Tonight he guaranteed that there were no earmarks or pork spending in the stimulus bill. I guess that is a matter of perspective whether you consider $4B-$5B for ACORN as an earmark or pork.

You can read about 49 other earmarks here.
