Obama Won. That’s it?
Obama in his radio address today insisted that his Stimu-pork bill should be passed ASAP and “scolded Republicans with a pointed reminder that Democrats, not Republicans, were victorious in November.”
So much for post-partisanship. There he goes again putting politics above everything.
The “I won” argument is getting tiresome and a little pathetic. Who won is irrelevant to the issue of whether the bill is a waste of money or of help to the economy. If that is the only way the President can justify why the bill should become law, the bill can’t be that good.
Rich Lowry couldn’t have said it better:
As far as political arguments go, “I won” has its power—provided it’s made on behalf of an agenda ratified by the American electorate.
In this case, most of the American electorate is not giving its backing to this particular item on Obama’s agenda.
