Our grandchildren, of course, but that doesn't matter to those who are
still suffering from Bush (or Rush) Derangement Syndrome (can do
nothing right). Many of these also suffer from Obama Idolatry Syndrome
(can do no wrong). I'm somewhere in the middle. Bush was not my
favorite president of all time. Obama has spent most of his adult life
surrounded by socialists, communists, terrorists, and America haters.
And, of course, he refuses to release any documentation about himself.
Maybe he's lily white (not a racial slur, so please don't start) and
maybe his core principles are different than his associates . The
jury's still out.

I, too, seldom listen to Rush, but he has a lot of good ideas. More
than occasionally he stretches the point to promote discussion.

Nevertheless, the current stimulus bill is mostly pure pork that will
not help any of us. And now they've decided to revive the age old
socialist envy factor. CEOs make too much money. We have to take them
down a peg. Just tell me how that is going to help put bread on the
table for those who are out of work and losing their homes?

In my opinion, the Republicans have taken the right approach - make
efforts to improve the bill (all shot down) then stand back and say:
let it be on your heads.
