RW, > Why not give Obama the benefit of the doubt until proved wrong? Didn't Obama pledge that the stimulus money would be spent wisely? How hard would it be for Obama to tell the Democrats to put a halt on Murtha's pork-barrel namesake? I sure hope it doesn't take long for Obama to fulfill his pledge. Then there's the question of why Obama should even have to try hard to do just that, i.e. why Congress needs someone on the outside to tell them to shape up. Tenchusatsu

I wonder if your presumption, 90 days into the Bush admin was that he was going to double the deficit? Didn't think so. 90 days after he took office 9/11 hadn't happened. On 9/11 I fully expected huge deficits, and no sensible person would have thought otherwise, or taken issue with them. It would have been incompetent for Bush not to have done what he did to insure we had no further attacks. Bush's only fiscal failings were a few domestic spending programs (Education bill, Medicare Part D, etc.) -- which were bills that any liberal might have passed. But these are literally trivial by comparison with what The One is doing.
