Hey guys...

[Mike Vande]

I was just surfing through the channels, and ran across a Fox News program with Sean Hannity, Geraldo Rivera, and a few others on both sides of the political line. They were talking about the economic stimulus package, and how it was done backwards. It came from Congress to the the White House, from Nancy Pelosi to President Obama. They were saying it was "like Nancy Pelosi was telling the President what to do". They also brought up the seldom mentioned fact that out illustrious Speaker of the House has her own, governmentally funded Gulfstream jet, on which she flies home to California every weekend. When Hannity said it was unnecessary pork, it was defended by the Rivera and the other liberals as a necessary expense, because after all, "she IS third in line for the Presidency." I suspect we are witnessing a shift in power away from the Executive branch to the Legislative. It's logical; after being stymied in the effort to run the country from the Judicial branch, the liberal/progressive factions in DC have positioned an established and overly strong Speaker of the House against a weak, new & inexperienced President to shift the primacy away from the White House.

(chuckle)Did we expect anything else?

What's worse, if VP Biden and President Obama were both taken out one way or another, we'd be looking at President Pelosi, and all the Libs seem to be very aware of it. If the executive branch starts to gain the upper hand over the Legislative branch in the coming days, I'd be looking very carefully at the crowds at the President's public appearances if I were a Secret Service man...

Yeah I saw that also.

Congress has spent more time on some 5 million spending bills than they have on this Stimulus packaged.

I hope none of the GOP votes for it.
