As a long-time resident of the Old Dominion I keep a sharp eye on the socialist kleptocracy in Sacramento. When they have run out of accounting tricks that would put anyone in the private sector in prison they will demand that Obama cut them a big check. Our leading edge failed state will expect Virginians, Texans and citizens of other prudently run states to make good their public pension promises and to pay for their world-class system of bike paths. A Republican house would not go for this but the Poseur could dip into the Stimulus stash for California (and Michigan,New York, Illinois, etc.)

But presidents cannot spend money. Thay can only approve the congress spending it. And with a republican congress, this could get extremely interesting.
