If that is how you took it, your shortsightedness has caused you to miss the big picture.
Any and all Pork or bad policy, no matter who brings it or who votes for it, is not Kosher.
I guess you are right. I hadn't realized that our Republican Representatives had, all of a sudden, lost their taste for Pork. I just think it is disingenuous to disparage current efforts under the guise of their "porkiness". Certainly, reducing pork from any side is preferential, I am, however, not naive enough to think it will disappear.
Had you listened to Obama's Q&A with the Republicans you'd have heard Obama pretty explicitly and candidly say that it is unfair for a Republican minority to expect 80-100% of their ideas to be incorporated in everything in lieu of Democrat ideas. It's lunacy, yet, that's basically what Republicans are demanding....
Case and point right here.
Republicans don't want to be thrown a bone or two. They want the ENTIRE STEAK and leave the Democrats with nothing.
Sorry, the system doesn't work like that.
Well, you have to remember, the GOP was used to steak for the better part of 8 years ... it's hard to give up addictions like that.
oh don't waste your time on people like that ... if Obama personally came to their house to hand them a refund check, they would say that the check isn't good enough.
No, they would take it, spend it, then bytch about it after the money is gone. Example: earmarks in stimulas, begging for money (Alaska, Louisana)
Soon enough Obama is going to say ********* to any opposition and just do what he wants.
If they don't want to agree with ANYTHING he has to say then he will eventually ignore them entirely. I guess that's what people get when they can't get along.
Well the stilmus was suposed to cure the unemplyment;so why the need for a unemployemnt bill/ If it didn't after 758 billion does Obama really think many still trust in his polices? I am glad democrts got all thier wishes come true in that spending because there is going to be any mpore if many can help it. Enjoy the billions and the beneits he promised from it.Hopre who can sleep with all the noise around you from all thsoe massive infrastruture projects. Just get use to driving a alternate route because of all those bridges that were faulty being repaired or replaced.Thius is the good times'wait until the funding runs out.Instaed of keeping iot to 8% ;the democrats how say it would have gotten inot the 20+ % without teh stilulus. No0w that soemthing to look forward to when the funding and massive projects stop but at loeast it will be quiter.
