I grow tired of hearing pundits declare that President Obama has erred in being too lax in regard to the 'stimulus' bill that he is now marking as a major milestone. Yes, he allowed Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to write the bill. Yes, he apparently was more concerned with PR regarding the bill than defending it on substance. But, make no mistake, he is not opposed to any of the content that he has expertly attempted to keep hidden from the American people. He has vociferously defended Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as proudly as one could in using the English language. He is in lock-step with them in regard to their socialist agenda, and this shouldn't surprise us.
I heard one pundit declare that the bill, had it been written by President Obama, would have looked much different. In what way? It has his 'tax cut' welfare program for the zero-tax liability working folks. It socializes medicine. It subsidizes illigitimacy through manditory welfare increases. It re-distributes wealth. Am I missing something here? Was there a campaign promise that he didn't fulfill in this scare-by-number bill?
President Obama is as radical as his associates. He endorsed this bill. He should not be given the benefit of the doubt. He's not held hostage by Nancy Pelosi et al. We are.
