Sam, It is that type of tunnel vision that will be a problem for the republicans if they decide that this is the way to attack the democrats. Their arguments are difficult to make with a straight face right now. Maybe, in 6 months to a years time, if Obama can't start righting the ship, some of this will stick but there are still too many memories of the past 8 years for people, outside of the hardliners, to take any of this seriously. On a different note, I guess it is not only the US automakers that need a bailout. businessweek.com Maybe it is not only how the companies are run but also the business climate. Maybe it isn't that the US Big 3 autoworker is a lazy good for nothing. One last thing that I found interesting looking at the AJC today. Apparently, our Senator, Saxby Chambliss, has requested 67 earmarks in the present spending bill, even though he is against earmarks and was against the stimulus plan. I guess it is only earmarks that he doesn't come up with himself that are bad. I do wish that Obama would look at this spending bill and get rid of the obvious pork in it, although one persons pork is another persons bread and butter. But you really can't tell just from the title of the earmark if it is good or bad. The devil is really in the details. Neal
