| #4 Some of the smarter Obama people tried to get the word "stimulus" to be replaced by "long term recovery" in all public statements. However, too many people had already bought the 'stimulus' line (or esle didn't understand the diff). |

| #2 “The spending portion of the stimulus, in short, isn't really about the economy. It's about promoting long-time Democratic policy goals…” This would be humorous if it wasn’t so pathetically obvious. The Democratic front men of this ruse are struggling like spoiled children to explain why they aren’t willing to go through the normal appropriations process for their pet boondoggles. Their rationale is that a massive stimulus is quickly needed but it must include “long-term” investments. Kind of like your kids begging for a bump in their allowance because eventually you will have to pay for their college tuition. |

| #1 That $355 billion in spending isn't about the economy. NONE of these "bailouts" are. They're about WELFARE! |
