[clue-talk] The stimulus bill

[Nate Duehr]

Back to the topic of the so-called "stimulus" bill...

(That's such a GREAT marketing name isn't it?  The government marketing/spin
people really should get jobs in real advertising, but they get more
prestige from associating with their political celebrities I guess.  They'd
make a fortune, though...)

I see that McCain's going on Face the Nation Sunday to talk about it, just
prior to Obama's prime time address on Monday.  This should be fun, if
nothing else... 

Just how bi-partisan in this "new era of responsibility" will Obama be after
McCain's comments?  We'll see...

The Wall Street Journal had a nice op-ed today about what's going on here...
Obama didn't just promise things, he promised a DIFFERENT WAY TO DO THINGS
-- and so far hasn't delivered on that.  5 days to review all legislation...
nope.  That type of thing.

The public is judging him on his "commitment to change how Washington
works"... and so far, he's dropped over ten points in the polls.  

Buyer's remorse at not getting what was promised?  Or is he just figuring
out how to do it?  We'll see!  

Sunday should be quite entertaining.
