President Bush's moment of nakedness took place more than four years and eight months into his administration. In office less than three weeks, President Obama has already provided a naked moment of his own. The episode, of course, concerns the legislation now referred to only laughingly as an "economic stimulus." Drafted by the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives, the bill represents a sham and an outrage. Of the more than $800 billion in spending that the legislation authorizes, less than $100 billion would go to highways, the electricity grid or destinations that might--might--produce genuine economic growth. The rest? Transfer payments to interest groups. More than half the "emergency" spending would not even take place until fiscal year 2010. Making its way through the House last week, the legislation proved so bad that it galvanized the most woe-begotten and demoralized group in the capital, the Republicans. Every last Republican in the House voted against it. If this were true, wouldn't the MSM backed down just a little???? Not likely..they'll support their man because he is just that their man.
