Senate Allies Fault Obama on Stimulus - NYTimes.com
Senate Democrats complained that major components of his plan were not bold enough and urged more focus on creating jobs and rebuilding the nation’s energy infrastructure rather than cutting taxes.
Just hours earlier, Mr. Obama called for speedy passage of the stimulus measure, warning that the recession “could linger for years” if Congress did not pass his plan within weeks.
Further complicating the picture, Democratic senators said Thursday that they would try to attach legislation to the package that would allow bankruptcy courts to modify home loans, a move Republicans have opposed.
Anybody else see the drift here? While Obama postures as a “moderate,” he’s going to be “forced” by a Democrat congress into going along with every socialist item on the far left’s radical wish list.
That used to be the excuse used by GOP presidents.

Allll together now - “Rollll out the barrellll…we’ll have a barrel of porrrrk…”
Between Obama and the Congress, I can’t figure out who is supposed to be rolling who.
If you can’t see the fish at the poker table, it’s you.
Too bad we can’t cash our chips and go home.
But we can cash their chips and send them home. If most of us weren’t incorrigible dumbasses, and rationally ignorant nitwits.
