Obama’s “$3 Million Overhead Projector”
Politics Buzz When John McCain decried Barack Obama’s attempt to fund an over-priced projector as an example of pork barrel spending he was referencing a legitimate-sounding funding request for the Adler Planetarium, a non profit organization who’s programming is primarily for school kids, to replace its failing 40-year-old centerpiece. Not quite a “bridge to nowhere.” As it turns out, the funding that Obama sought in this case never went through.
