From Bill O’Reilly who does a marvelous job of connecting the dots. But this message left by the Times reporter, Stephanie Strom, to he source is damning to the Times:

“Hi, Anita, it’s Stephanie. I’ve just been asked by my bosses to stand down. … They want me to hold off on coming to Washington. Sorry, I take my orders from higher up.”

During the election , it was quite clear that the Times was a PR arm of thre Obama campaign, also engaing in a smear story about an affair between John McCain and a lobbyist. The lobbyist, Vicki Iseman has filed a defamation suit against the Times.
Still its curious to see such a partrisan as Jon Conyers to advance the idea of further hearings against ACORN, an organization he is certain to know well. It will be interesting to see it play out and equally interesting to see how congressional GOP members treat the upcoming role of ACORN in census taking.

For the NY Times, though, it is very sad to see such an esteemed newspaper fall from relevancy and even trust for that matter. It news pages can no longer be seen as anything more an operative arm of the Democrat Party

$150 million for honeybee insurance? Are you kidding me?

This bill has been all about party building for DEMs by Obama as a thanks for electing him. Clinton tried the same thing.

Hard core GOP nuts like me were willing to give Obama an opportunity to do what’s right for America, but he chose what is best for the DEM party first. He would have won GOP support with federal funds for real “shovel ready” projects, but less than 20% of the bill is even about infrastructure.

So many of the inclusions are about general bugetary items for established federal institutions and programs and should never have been part of a stimulus package to begin with. Considered singulary by GOP legislators, they may have been voted through as legit budget items. So why the anxiousness by DEMs to move through pork barrel spending that have nothing to do with stimulating our economy?

Obama and his DEM colleagues are not stupid and have to know this.
So whats it really about? Eleven DEMs voted against the Pelosi-Obama bill along with all GOP members of the House. Wouldn’t there have been at least one or two GOP pols who would have felt the Pelosi-Obama package would help the economy?

There are no other reasons except those that serve DEM pols and Obama personally.

It took less than a week before Barack Obama showed weakness. By evoking the name of radio icon Rush Limbaugh to Republican congressional members, the new president displayed not only a lack of sophistication in philosophy but also in personal weakness.

To play the Limbaugh card to the face of Republican legislators demonstrates just how little he respects and understands positions contrary to his own. Its one thing to associate the radio giant with voters but quite another to believe that seasoned and hardened pols march in lock step to what Limbaugh says on the radio. This was a disturbing lack of savvy in this demonstration and revealed desperation when faced with anything but adulation.

Those GOP members of congress must have left unimpressed, but also concerned that the new president has a tendency to see things through an extremely narrow set of core perceptions. It signals that he will seek out the extreme left of his party at signs of pressure. But it indicates, too, that he may also lash out unnecessarily in a manner which favors our enemies. The later should be of the greatest concern to the people of our nation no matter their political leanings.
