Obama scare tatics... What happen to "a new kind of politics"?January 5th, 2009 Obama said:
"We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert pet projects without review"

Now if my memory serves me correctly... Didn't Obama just say last night:
"When has a bill of this size ever been passed without earmarks?"
I didnt remember the last time we would be DOOMMMEDDDD without:
9 billion for broadband to rural areas
355 Million for STD education
246 Million on film for Hollywood producers
88 Million for ONE ship for the coast guard
75 million for "smoking cessation activities"
2 BILLION for manufactors to come up with advance batteries
6. 2 BILLION to help people weatherize their house
1.5 BILLION for NASA
1 BILLION to tidy up the smithsonian and the national mall
21 BILLION to put more computers in schools
15 Milliion to increase the pell grant
1.1 Billion toward the 2010 census
While a lot of the things in the stimulus package are good ideas such as increasing the pell grant, money for the census, and for a ship lets not be decived. This is suppose to be an emergency spending bill, but its looking more lke a wish list for Democrats day by day.
All I hear these days is how we are going to be doomed, lost, without hope, and heading for catastrophic failure without all this, but I tell you if Obama means what he say's and really REALLY CARES then he and ALL politicians would focus on what the TRUE problem is.
How will paying for peoples education bring an imediate relief?
How will Billions upon Billions of technology advancments (such as new computers for schools and government departments) bring imediate relief?
How would repairing a museum and mall bring imediate relief?
Maybe Obama should stop scaring the american people into something that dosen't seem right. What happen to the "change in politics" he's bringing to Washington because the last 8 years all we heard was this fear mongering.
To me it seems like the same old thing just a different day; the only difference now is most people turn a blind eye into letting Obama and Democrats drive us a Trillion more in debt because Bush was in office the last 8 years... Which dosen't make much sense.
Who would really like to see this bill passed? and do you think this spending would really help us out?

He lied to get elected. No the bill will not help the economy and may very well hurt it. I do not want to see this abomination of a Pork Barrel spending bill passed. God help us we have a socialist in the White House.

All of this is why Bush fought for the line-item veto. He knew it was a great way to cut the pork!
Political Junkie & a proud Repub
Shoot, I didn't vote for em cos I knew he was a liar. I knew all this crap was gonna go down. I've been involved in politics long enough to sniff out a fake when I see one.

He lied, idiots fell for it, and voted for him. He's in office now, he doesn't need to lie anymore. He can let his true colors come out, and he's certainly wasted no time in doing so. But I guarantee no matter what he pulls, his brainless followers will still stick up for him.
