NY heart their Senator?

Funny how anecdotally, right-leaning New Yorkers who voice opposition to Clinton complain how she doesn’t bring home any bacon to NY. However, the actual facts released by the annual report of Citizens Against Government Waste paint a wildly different picture. Hillary’s tally was $296M, Obama was at $97M and McCain was at “zero” (Republicans shattered all pork-barrel spending records when they controlled both houses and the White House, but now are getting their pork through without being named, so McCain’s “no pork” claim is a technicality). So, it’s funny how the mainstream media reports negatively on Hillary in NY for not brining home the pork, but outside of NY criticizes her for being a mega-pork-barreller. Note – I’m not endorsing Hillary, just pointing out how the mainstream (and right) media will take one fact and spin it two different ways to maximize negativity against her. Just something to keep in mind…
