Calling on Sen. Barack Obama to live up to his call for more transparency in government, Sen. John McCain chided the Illinois Senator for failing to release some of his personal earmark requests.
While Obama has publicly released his 2007 earmark requests to the Senate Appropriations Committee, he has not released his letters to the committee from 2005 and 2006, according to a Thursday Washington Post story. The Post reported that Obama helped secure $91 million for the projects in the Land of Lincoln in 2007, which McCain said “isn’t chump change.”
