I'm still trying to figure out what bipartisanship means, because the way it's been framed by the administration and the press is that it means the party in the minority should suck it up and go along with the president and the party in the majority.
The Beachwood Reporter is a must read for me, each day ... I'm guessing Steve Rhodes and I would disagree about a lot over the past eight years, but I think he's spot-on correct about Obama, the press and why we might have made as bad a decision last November as we did in 2000 and 2004. And I say that admitting that I voted for Bush twice, and that it was a mistake (at least the first time).
Maybe in a political sense Obama can't afford "the usual political games." But in a financial sense, we're the ones who can't afford it. We're not just getting the money; we're the ones who are spending it.
This "porkulus" bill will have the same consequences for the United States that the Iraq war has ... and I'm frightened for my country as I type this, as there's no real way to stop it from happening.
