Obama Plan Could Help Dems, But Not The Way You Think Thursday, September 09, 2010 - 10:28 PM

Did President Obama do his party a political favor by proposing $50 billion in new transportation infrastructure spending to a budget-weary nation right before the November midterms? Was his labor day infrastructure plan an effort to allow struggling Democrats to distance themselves?
At least one vulnerable Democrat under fire for supporting the president’s first $787 billion stimulus plan now says he’s not on board for any more. And just like that, Sen. Michael Bennett (D-Colo.) has put a little distance between himself and a White House sagging in the polls.


“I will not support additional spending in a second stimulus package. Any new transportation initiatives can be funded through the Recovery Act, which still contains unused funds,” Bennett said in a statement released Wednesday.
Bennett was appointed to his Senate seat when then-Senator Ken Salazar became Interior Secretary. Bennett is running for the first time to claim the seat for a full term and trailing GOP candidate Ken Buck by 9 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conduced August 20-22.
One of the main lines of attack against Bennett is that he backs excessive government spending. Exhibit A, according to Bennett’s critics, is the stimulus package.
“Bennet has a record of rubberstamping almost every spending measure that his party and the special interests have put before him, resulting in $13 trillion of debt and millions of jobs lost,” Buck said in a statement of his own on Wednesday.
Now Bennett seems to have been given the chance to ‘say no’ to more White House spending plans.
“We must make hard choices to significantly reduce the deficit,” his statement says.
How many more imperiled Democrats will take this chance to put some daylight between themselves and President Obama by opposing his $50 billion transportation plan?

Biker to Believe,

Hitler was not a backslider from Christianity.  He was never a Christian to begin with.  He was a Catholic.  Catholics are not Christians.  Our Bible is very clear that a Christian must be born again.  Catholics are not born again.  They don't follow the Bible.  So they are not Christians.

I am Rupture-ready! Are you?

I just did a little research on the current needs of our infrastructure; we are in bad shape across America! YES, this is one thing I do support President Obama!

You can find a little more information that I collected at the link below.

I even started a petition:

I have not added the increasing threats to our water system regarding, jet fuel found in over 35 states along with a dozen other toxin's that endanger humans and animals.

Perchlorate has now been found in our baby formula.

Judge, are we talking pork barrel, or kickback? 

Either abuse is a Class-A felony suitable for impeachment and removal from office.  To proceed, we must clean the House and Senate of the hardened corruption that these people have used to date to line their pockets at our expense.

We cannot rebuild or repair one bridge, dam, or levee, if every dime in the government is in the hands of corrupt officials and shall go absolutely no farther!

If the corruption in Obama's bunch seems as hardened and vicious as that of the Capone and Moran families in Chicago, then you see the picture in stark and unnerving realism.  Removing that sort of corruption is dangerous business, with Obamites scouring the net looking for anyone who might possibly not support the criminal activities of Obama bin Laden.  Fascists will always support other fascists. 

Note: Hitler's bunch murdered 6 million Jews, and another 6 million other innocent people, with 5X8 cards in shoe boxes as their sole records.  The Internet makes that process a lot faster. 

I, for one, could not care less the price I must pay to remove that corruption from office -- before it destroys everything I worked most of my life to earn!

What was the legal term for Obama's action to date?  Malfeasance in office, obstruction of justice, sedition, conspiracy, electoral fraud, RICO act violations (136 to date and counting). . ..  Any of these felonies on conviction buys a bullet.

It will be the saddest day of my life to endure yet another impeachment such as we saw with Klown Klinton the Koward.  But if we don't get rid of that dangerous Kenyan misfit, the future appears here.

Even light will bend to do our bidding if we apply force correctly. The lowest servant in Heaven is still in Heaven, whoever rules in hell is still in hell, but they won't rule for long. No man stands taller than when he stoops to help a little child.

Are these your solutions to fix this economy? I personally am willing to listen to ideas that will even only have a small impact correcting the mess that the last 8 years of economic policy has produced for us.
