I'm on Greg Palast's email list and it was in my inbox. Greg is pretty cynical and critical of just about EVERYONE, including Obama. I thought it was a really positive article for him. Didn't you? Here's the original link. http://www.gregpalast.com/obama-is-a-two-faced-liar-aw-right/
Then came Obama's money bomb. The House bill included $125 billion for schools (TRIPLING federal spending on education), expanding insurance coverage to the unemployed, making the most progressive change in the tax code in four decades by creating a $500 credit against social security payroll deductions, and so on.
It's as if Obama dug up Ronald Reagan's carcass and put a stake through The Gipper's anti-government heart. Aw-RIGHT!
About the only concession Obama threw to the right-wing trogs was to remove the subsidy for condoms, leaving hooker-happy GOP Senators, like David Vitter, to pay for their own protection. S'OK with me.
And here's the proof that Bam is The Man: Not one single Republican congressman voted for the bill. And that means that Obama didn't compromise, the way Clinton and Carter would have, to win the love of these condom-less jerks.
I don't know about you, but THIS is the change I've been waiting for.
