pressed Congress to find a solution to the looming Highway Trust Fund crisis

What the Hell was the "Stimulus" for, you pathetic bastard?

We're just building roads and bridges, like we have for the past 50 years

Yeah. Right. Show me the budget. If the money is spent SOLELY on road repair and bridges -- not "green" projects like bike paths, not multi-million dollar electronic billboards and highway monitoring systems, not money to put a sign every 100 feet on the side of the road, not environemental impact studies -- then I'll be all for it. But we know that isn't the case. Its a front for a bunch of green nonsense and a way to line his union and crony capitalist buddies' pockets.

Oh, yeah, the innovative and visionary president wants to build the Hoover Dam! He wants money to slough off to his union buddies who don’t do any work on highways, bridges and tunnels. They let our infrastructure rot.

Congress doesn’t spend all the highway money of roads and bridges now. A significant portion is siphoned off for other pork barrel projects. Until they are spending it ALL on highways, they can pound sand.

What cost more: The war in Iraq or the Stimulus bill? (Hint: not the war.)

Well instead of sending $400,000,000.00 to the mid east terrorist who hate the USA use that money for the roads instead of taxing the American tax payers.

Obama and his accomplices are determined to bankrupt this country as quickly as possible. Why else would he allow all those illegal immigrant kids into this country?

And now, reverting to one of his favorite tactics, he is manufacturing a crisis that will require huge sums of money to remedy. If Congress won't give that money to him, he will use that pen to extort the money himself.

No imperial presidency, my left buttcheek.

If he truly wanted to help out union members, he’d be pushing Keystone, plenty of good paying jobs there and mostly unions. The unions are well aware of this too and aren’t too happy with the magic negro.

Zero had to choose between unions and the green weenies on this issaue and so far the unions (an d our country) are loosing.

***Republicans and Democrats in Congress are still divided on both a short-term solution to finance highway projects****

I’ve watched roads being built for the last 60 years. It took as long as 20 years to get 35 miles of free road built from Tulsa, OK to Chouteau.

On the other hand, a 40 mile TOLL ROAD can be built in about 5 years.

Does anybody, anywhere, think the highway money has been spent efficiently and cost-effectively?

If they would stop flushing money down the toilet, perhaps the tax money they already have would be sufficient. We should at least try to make them live on their current budget before shovling more money into that black hole.

“it's not socialism” to want to build new highways and bridges in the country. “It's not crazy. It's not socialism. It's not the imperial presidency,” Obama said

He knows what he is. And he knows that WE know who and what he is. He wants us to believe that this 1 bill is not one of them.

Way to go Stalin.

A socialist without money is just a peon.
