The 'Days of Pork ... are over'

President Barack Obama issued a warning Sunday to officials around the country who want to fund projects with federal dollars: no more business as usual.

In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama said: "What we need to do is examine: What are the projects where we're going to get the most bang for the buck? How are we going to make sure taxpayers are protected?

"You know, the days of just pork coming out of Congress as a strategy, those days are over."
