Democrats in the House, especially Speaker Nancy Pelosi, gloated at Obama's party last night how the House passed the the $825 billion stimulus package that they were so insistent this country needs. In the wonderful spirit of bipartisanship brotherhood it passed 244-188.
Not a single Republican in the House voted for this package.
Nope, not one.
Some Democrats voted NO as well. At least the ones who want to be re-elected did.
Kudos to Eric Cantor, the Minority Whip in the house for getting this consensus together.
Here is a list of some of the wonderful things this package will pay for in the next decade. And then you and your children, and your grandchildren will be paying it off for the rest of your life.
The other night President Obama came and visited with Republican House members, claiming he wanted to listen and learn from them about the House stimulus proposal. If he did listen, he didn't act on it nor did he learn. His arrogance in leadership is unmatched.
President Obama, you won. Nancy Pelosi, you won as well. Harry Reid, you are on the clock and will win as well.
But now you own this package and everything that comes with it. If it fails, you fail. If it succeeds, you succeed. But your fate is tied directly to this package.
Good luck in the 2010 and 2012 elections, the repercussions could be devastating.
I heard these same things on Glenn the other night- almost drove me to tears.
