Is That A Threat Harry?

"As I have explained to people in that group, they cannot hold the President of the United States hostage. If they think they're going to rewrite this bill and Barack Obama is going to walk away from what he is trying to do for the American people, they've got another thought coming." Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev

No, Harry, you have another thought coming if you think the American people are going to stand still why you and your cohorts, Pelosi, et al, cram this “pork chop” down our throats. You, Pelosi, and the President may think you can get away with stuffing this “sausage” with political paybacks to the Unions, Planned Parenthood, the eco-nuts, the ACORN(S) just to name a few, but the American people are looking at the spending—$1 trillion bailout from just a few weeks ago, the $151 billion stimulus checks from a few months before that, and the $45 billion bailout of auto makers that came in between, and especially the regular federal spending for the year of a whopping $3 trillion. Then you have the audacity to throw another TRILLON dollars worth of paybacks, payoffs, and other waste that should go through normal Congressional channels and try to fool the people into thinking it is supposed to stimulate the economy? The people are not stupid, Harry; at least 57% of them are not. Harry, that’s the number of people who are now against this god-awful splurge that you and the rest of the so-called PAYGO Democrats are for. By the way, Harry, what happened to PAYGO that “the ONE” promised the taxpayers? I suppose it was just more “mis-speak,” or perhaps “just words,” as the “anointed ONE” threw around so much during the Primaries when speaking of others’ statements and ideas.

Unfortunately, for the people selling this snake oil, that’s you Harry and your pal Pelosi, someone noticed at some point that the “new” stimulus was really just a collection of stale old pork barrel pet projects relabeled as a carefully considered plan and their opposition began to grow and grow that it is nothing but a historic waste of money, and guess what, Harry, it ain’t gonna fly!

The longer the Senate Republicans can keep this waste in the forefront, the smaller your sausage will become and the better off the American people are going to be. Harry, pay attention to the historians who have proven that the old New Deal didn’t work and the “new” New Deal is even worse. However, Harry, I am glad to see you squirming and yelling and crying so soon into the new administration. Just when you thought you and your pal, Pelosi, could pull off the biggest scam in history, it’s falling apart before your very eyes. No, Harry, no Kleenex from me, use your sleeve or better yet, Pelosi’s.
