A Fast One


The fast talking team of Obama/Reid/Pelosi scammed the American people on Friday last when they pushed through Congress (not misnamed considering what “congress” is also a synonym for) the reconciled $787 billion Stimulus Bill with just three shaky Republican votes in the Senate (as opposed to eight dissenting Democrat votes in the House). This was done on the basis that we are in an economic crisis and could not spare one extra day for our legislators to actually read this 1,073 page tome which, I’m sure, contains item after item of special interest largess. (This reconciled bill was actually published just hours before it was voted on.) However, why then is Barack Obama waiting four extra days to sign this bill into law in Denver on this following Tuesday? Could not this time have been better spent uncovering all the Democrat agenda goodies hidden amongst the reams of camouflage? Perhaps these traipsing triplets could not wait for the voters to find the pea (pee?) under their rapidly moving walnut shells?

In the next six months the Obama presidency, I hope, suffers the drip, drip, drip in the media’s uncovering these honey dollops ... until such time as it becomes necessary for the next stimulus hog fest.
