Geez, I hope Jesse Jackson doesn't hear about this. You don't suppose he'd like to pull Obama's chestnuts out of the fire, do you? Dems saved Bush's 'chestnuts'

Despite Obama's recent successes, polls suggest serious weaknesses. According to the latest NBC-Wall Street Journal survey, Americans see Obama as a riskier choice for president than McCain by a margin of 20 percentage points. Thirty-four percent see McCain as the more experienced commander in chief. That's why Obama sought to do something bold in Berlin. Instead of touting programs and proposals, he offered a worldview -- one in which the best way for America to secure its safety and prosperity is to elect him president. Partnership with Europe and the rest of the world is the only way to proceed, his speech insisted. In place of a war on "Islamofascism" or a new Cold War with Russia, Obama offered engagement. Instead of American exceptionalism, he offered cooperation and even apologies for past misdeeds. In a multicultural world, the real risk, Obama implied, would be to elect a president who lacked his background and values.

There’s little doubt that the speaker made it harder for the Treasury Department to get Republican support when she demanded that the bill include $3.9 billion in community development block grants, or CDBGs, to help urban areas stressed by home foreclosures. Great Ken, we just got ripped off of 3.9B more. Only a sap like Pelosi would try and spin this as "pulling chestnuts".... This is the Democratic controlled Congress idea of getting a hold on spending?
