SAVE the country -- because it really IS that important. The Obama/Pelosi so-called "stimulus" bill not only will NOT stimulate the economy, but it will wreck it!
And while Obama is pushing for this pork laden bill, he is cutting defense by 10%, or $55B dollars, resulting in the loss of thousands of defense related jobs.

Obama Proposes Military Funding Cuts (10% cut of defense budget, or $55B)

ROFL..the DUmp will demand the names of those Dems who dare to side with Republicans and go after their seats..loyalty to the party MUST come before the welfare of the country..
If the Senators feel this way, imagine how the taxpayers must feel. We’re the ones who are going to have to pay for this Obamafiasco. The Oinker Overspending Act of 2009!
IMO, the worst of all world would be for Republican Senators to tweak the porkulus bill, then vote for this pig, and then give “bipartisan” cover to Obama and Democrats. And then when all the cascading ugliness of the bill following passage, the bill will henceforth and forever more be refered to as the “bipartisan” stimulus bill that wrecked the country!
I say, let Democrats own the porkulus as one would own a millstone around one’s neck.
The media are supporting him 110%. Obama will keep trying. And if he succeeds in appointing Judd Gregg (Republican) as Commerce Secretary, the GOP would lose it ability to filibuster. Essentially, Gregg is acting as a trojan horse for Obama. The New Hampshire Governor may determine what happens next.

The sad thing to me, is with all the leftist pork in “Porkulus”, the one they mention cutting is the funding for the bees. This is a major factor in our food growing capabilities. Without bees, and finding a way to protect them, our grocery store shelves are going to shrink dramatically, in both amounts and varieties of foodstuffs. and i’m not just talking about sweet stuffs. Bees are a critical link in the pollination and the bounty of our crops, and that means more than honey comb cereal, it means al kinds of fruit and vegetables as well. It would be a bad mistake to cut the money for the bees, IMO.
And too light on "stimulus". In fact it contains no "stimulus" at all.
Well, DUH!
Filibuster! Filibuster!! Filibuster!!! Give the public the time to learn what’s in the bill! The more the public knows, the less popular the bill will be! People may be in favor of jobs, but they do NOT want social engineering! This will bankrupt the US! Filibuster!!
It occured to me that evidence points to a lot of high stakes gambling was going on with public money at the publics’ expense. Someone wasn’t heeding their ‘’fidicary responsibilies’’. Which is a crime.
Bipartisanship is when the Republicans agree with the Democrats. For TRUE bipartisanship, Mr. Obama, use 54% as you please and allow the Republicans to do the same with their 46%.
great, they agree to reduce it to “only” $450 billion of our money wasted on expanding socialism.
bump
I hope they are for real. We just can’t afford to keep giving out money with no return for the taxpayer.
I wonder how Bob the BO’s lawyer will answer to this?
