WHAT'S THE RUSH? 'URGENT' $TIMULUS ON HOLD FOR BAM'S WEEKEND OFF
New York Post ^

Posted on 02/15/2009 12:53:39 PM PST by Lou Budvis

After pushing Congress for weeks to hurry up and pass the massive $787 billion stimulus bill, President Obama promptly took off for a three-day holiday getaway.

Obama arrived at his home in Chicago on Friday, and treated wife Michelle to a Valentine's Day dinner downtown last night. The couple was spotted leaving upscale Table Fifty-Two, which specializes in Southern cuisine, with the first lady toting what appeared to be a doggie bag. ...

**Too big to Work? Is that his head?**

I’m thinking it’s his ego.

And what about all that jet fuel going to and from Chicago? How many poor Americans could that money have fed if it had not been spent on jet fuel?

Obama has no, I really mean it, no financial discipline at all.

I’ll second that opinion. All in favor vote “Aye.”

The Ghost of Abraham Lincoln has been seen in the White House and regularly makes his appearance known.

The Ghost of Abe Lincoln is what's "haunting" the current President. BHO compares himself to Abe Lincoln and old Abe doesn't want to be associated with BHO so old Abe drives him nuts and makes him want to leave the White House at every opportunity.

Old Abe told me to tell you he says, "I love it when a plan comes together."

You too?

The ghost of Abe Lincoln told me he didn't like his Bible being abused. That's why the "oaf" was Babel-ed.

“It wouldn’t have been possible without the terrible GOP leadership that preceded him, and made his election possible.”

True, IMO. The GOP screwed up so badly the last 8 years that Democratic victory was almost inevitable.

It’s kind of hard to criticize Obama’s spending with a straight face after what our party did.

No, the REAL reason it was rushed through was so people would not have time to find out what was in it.

It’s the same backroom midnight railroad job that was tried with the last amnesty bill.

Republicans need to keep pointing out what this bill contains so the public will understand how they were scammed.

I'm told the Obamas tried to get into Blackbird first, but were turned away. With the restaurant business down so much lately, Blackbird didn't want to turn away the number of Valentine's Eve customers it would have taken to make room for the President and his security detail. He did, however, have someone from the Secret Service pick up take-out mixed drinks from Topolobampo, his favorite restaurant.

Didn’t anyone tell our Savior about Camp David?

That’s not good enough for him.

Do as Obama says, not as he himself will do. In other words, everyone else needs to cut out the addiction to living on tax dollars but Democrats.
