Inexcusable and irresponsible

Those are words Obama used to describe Senators who oppose his "stimulus" bill. "Distraction, delay or politics as usual" are unacceptable at a time when millions of Americans are out of work, Obama said.

But what if you truly believe, if your intellect tells you based on facts available, that this "stimulus" is an abomination? Aren't you then obligated to oppose it because it is harmful to the nation?

In truth and in fact, the "stimulus" is an abomination. Obama and Congressional Democrats are playing politics with it. Democrats have the largest majorities they've had in many years and they're using those majorities to put into effect all the items that have been on their wish list for many years. They're doing it at a time when the nation is vulnerable. People are scared and Obama is scaring them further. Nothing could be more cynical.
