"Obama can pass his 'stimulus' bill without any Republican votes, and then take all the credit if it succeeds. But he knows it won't succeed, and he wants to avoid Clinton's fate. Clinton passed his first budget without GOP votes, and it helped spur the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress." (Rush Limbaugh) We can only hope he will pass it without Republican votes (if he can pass it), so he WILL suffer Clinton’s fate when it DOES fail. But I suspect he has a way in mind to blame the GOP when it DOES fail. The Democrats, and Obama in particular, are very good at shifting blame onto the Republicans. They’re doing it now with the “economic crunch” THEY created with their “Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976 that FORCED lenders to loan money they KNEW would never be repaid. They’re blaming it on “the private sector” with no proof. They figure if they say it often enough, people will come to believe it. And they’re right. Those of us who “don’t pay attention to politics” only see headlines, and that’s what they use to blame the Republicans. Frankly, this is NOT a "stimulus bill," no matter what they call it. It is a "PORK" bill. Read it and see where the "stimulus" is. There isn't a whole lot, if any. The "stimulus" is for their supporters. (Just common sense)
