US Stimulus Bill

[Kindle]

Obama’s recovery plan cleared the House this evening without a single Republican vote and with 11 Democratic sentors also voting NO. Final passage of the nearly $820 billion package came on a 244-188 vote.

The 645 page stimulus plan was created solely by the Democrats despite President Obama's request for a bipartisan bill.

The bill contains many items which are Democratic pet projects and which will not create jobs. The jobs that can be created from this bill will take 12-18 months. Reports of various pork projects are creating such a stir in the US that they have been removed from the bill after their discovery was publicized, but still much needs yet to be omitted.

President Obams must be sorely disappointed in the Democratic mishandling of this important bill.

For myself, I am feeling sick.

He may be disappointed that it wasn't a bi-partisan bid but you can bet he's happy he got his first 'win' in office.

It's not much of a win when they railroaded it through. Failure of the plan will then come back 100% on the Dems with alot of we told you so's by alot of people.

I'm not disagreeing with you Kindle. The passage of the bill will be cheered nonetheless.

This isnt a stimulus bill- its a socialism bill.

How about that fleet of new cars for federal officials in the bill?

I'm sure that's intended to help Detroit.

Im so glad the repubs didnt vote for it to a man. Im glad they are hangin out and trying to do whats right despite what may be political suicide.

Now when the economy is disrupted even further the repubs have a chance in four years to make it better- but if they break and side with the dems it's all over.

This slobbering love affair with Obama by the mainline media has got to be noticeable as things spiral downward yet even further. But it's going to take a long time for folks to notice that Obama and Pelosi/Fienstein/Reid are the real enemies of american progress.
