Where's the digicon of a crocodile crying when you need it?

How about he actually tries to get the Democratic leadership in congress to actually work WITH the republicans rather than thumbing their noses at them?  Maybe that would acheive the bipartisanship he claims he wants.  Many republicans agree that a stimulus package is needed, they just think that the current one available is a horrible idea with all of its pork and wasteful spending.

You might have had a point there if ALL the Democrats signed it, but apparently some of them thought it was a stinker too. Sorry this one will belong entirely to Nancy and Harry, so your great, great, great grand children will know exactly who to blame for it.

The tax cuts sounded like a measure to (in part) appease republicans, and some 'pork' projects were dropped from what I've heard.

That may be true but there is still a ton of pork in the bill and many republicans didn't think the tax cuts went far enough.  The bottom line is that Pelosi and Reid didn't care about anything the Republicans wanted and just filled the bill with all of their wants and desires.

For the record I think the entire idea of any stimulus bill is a bad idea here, but for anyone to claim that it's the republicans fault for this bill not passing with bipartisan votes is just absurd.  The blame lies on the Democratic leadership plain and simple.

It's never enough for republicans--the great Rush Limbaugh will see to that!--God forbid Obama win one. 

I mentioned the bluedogs' dissent. Obama and the party will be losers if they kowtow to them. As for the concern for great grandchildren, where were you eight years ago whe Bush was giving away the store to the wealthy?

Remind me again what office Rush Limbaugh holds? Perhaps the right could use the same tired tactic if there were a liberal radio show host that made an inkling of sense to anybody. He's an entertainer (and would be the first to say that). You and all the other liberals that turn beet red in the face at his observations are what gives him the perception of power, to your corrupted political base.

Well I didn't like it then either, now explain to me how tripling the "bad decision" now is all of a sudden good for the US? The left cried when Bush spent, but now that Obama wants to spend even more, they think it's the best thing since sliced bread, please. Now wouldn't you call that hypocrisy?

It depends on how it's spent.
