"The president's earmarks are harder - if not impossible - to tally. Many appear only in closely held supplements separate from the public budget books. Also, as head of the exectuvie brach, the president often doesn't need earmarks: Once federal agencies get funding from Congress, his appointees are fairly free to steer sums to places, programs and vendors as the administration decides."
