Wash Post editorial: Even the political capital of the popular Mr. Obama is not unlimited. We hope he does not spread it so broadly that he is left without the means to extinguish the fires raging now.NYT editorial: We can now only hope that Mr. Obama will use his 2010 budget proposal, which he unveils this week, to forcefully press his broader economic agenda.
Obama v reality: OBAMA: "I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it." THE FACTS: According to the Library of Congress, the inventor of the first true automobile was probably Germany's Karl Benz, who created the first auto powered by an internal combustion gasoline, in 1885 or 1886. Nobody disputes that Henry Ford created the first assembly line that made cars affordable.
Wash Post Obama address fact check
In his speech last night Obama claimed there were no "earmarks" in the stimulus bill. Semantics, my friends. Wait until you see the pork in his 2010 budget...
You don't have to look further for evidence than the stimulus bill which as you recall included the economic critical "Amusement Park Speed Train" running from Disneyland to Las Vegas. Let's see who is the Senator from Nevada and who is the Speaker of the House from California????
ReplyDeleteNo earmarks, but I smell pork cooking. The press has a poor olfactory sense.
Yes it is semantics. If it oinks like a duck...
