Thats all you see on the TV is rethugs talking about all this so-called pork in this bill. Randy did a break down on all the stuff in the bill that will create jobs and how many jobs. Obama has been off the mark on explaining this bill and his spokes person Gibbs is a DISASTER!!!.

3. They didn't let them, they enabled them
I am sure it was a corporate directive. The same type as they have operated under the last 8 years. Republicans rule the media.

4. We should NOT be surprised. However, for good or ill, this economy TRUMPS their noise machine
and they are "spinning like a whirling dervish" ... in a way it's amusing in a dark comedy sort of way. :evilgrin:

6. All week I have been screaming----Where are the Democratic
Counterparts.

Our party is so afraid to stand up and say I believe something
that is different from the GOP Party----we will soon be the
Minority Party.

8. They haven't "let the republicans" do anything- they're active propagandists
That said- Democrats have really should have come out swinging from day 1. It's not as if anyone should have been surprised by the corporate media's behavior.

What did the Democrats think? That the owners, senior editors, writers and newsreaders up and change their stripes because its in the country's interest?

9. WELL, so much for all the complaints about Reid/Pelosi; Obama
does not know how to counter the idiots across the aisle either.
