• This pretty well sums it up.

  "That's unfortunately how there can be so little discussion of how nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus spending missed the mark so badly. That is how people assume government can replace families as a social institution. That is how programs that discourage self-accountability and promote government dependency (and control) continue unabated."

• I think the wasted stimulus where a lot of money ended up being political payback just helps prove Obama earned his liar of the year award. His whole campaign beginning in 2007 has proved to be a lie.

  He came into office being just one more dirty politician bent on turning some more taxpayer money over to political friends. Washington DC has turned into a quagmire of crooks and any attempts to put a stop to it with new blood is stamped out quickly. Boehner's remarks yesterday fit the mold.

• There has been political payoffs going way back, like if I remember correctly Lady Bird Johnson having an interest in a dredging company in Viet Nam.

  Whatever happened in past administrations is history and is no excuse for thieving by the current president. This is the transparent president who was going to bring "hope and change" to the country. Did we ever get lied to!

• I would imagine lefty was pointing out to Wheels that political paybacks and no bid contracts occured in the Bush/Cheney era with Haliburton making billions of dollars simply because of theie political connections (i.e. Cheney CEO of Haliburton). We would probably be shocked to know what connections ALL POLITICIANS have in the closet, wouldn't we?

  As I pointed out they happened in the Johnson Administration.

  So what, is it not time to stop this kind of Governing. I knew who Lefty was talking about.

  Did you read this?

  I did not defend Bush, but I remind you of what Obama promised, and he lied.
