Florida Gov. OK's Friend's Rail Line
and socks Floridians with 200 Mill. bill , BUT rejected Obama Federal monies of over 2 Billion (with a "B"
because, he stated, it would cost Floridians 200 Million.
Seems it's kosher when his friends have a hand in it, but verboten when the Northern black man has a hand in it. So, Florida is going to be billed for his friend's rail system which is shorter, will employ less people, and only serve a small section of the state.
However, Obama's offer which would have cost less for Florida, hired many more, and serve a larger part of the state was just too wrong for him to live with. Seemed he needed to score some points with the Bagger's in the state when he explained that he didn't want to burden the good people of Florida with their share of the Federal monies - that filthy, filthy federal money.
What a guy - Kissing Tea Bagger's asses till he leaves office. Will do a happy dance when he gets kicked out next time around.
