riddle me this

How can ANYONE use the "Bush spent too much money excuse" now?

2010 budget released--sending our country into a $1.56 trillion deficit. Now that is the way to start a Monday morning!!

Hall of Shame

Obama signed the $410 billion (for, essentially, two fiscal quarters), making him the highest spending President, presiding over the largest deficit, of all time. He claims he inherited it - a phrase that is now beyond tiresome - but he has more than doubled it, and has added trillions to that now insurmountable debt. But enough about him. I got an email this morning from a good friend, as follows:

The eight "Republican" Senators who voted for the omnibus spending bill are:

Richard Shelby, Alabama

Thad Cochran, Mississippi

Roger Wicker, Mississippi

Lamar Alexander, Tennessee

Olympia Snowe, Maine

Kit Bond, Missouri

Lisa Murkowski, Alaska

Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania

When the RNC calls for a contribution to help the GOP fight waste, pork and government growth in Washington, you might want to give a contingent contribution, carefully stating that not one penny goes to the Hall of Shame! And tell all your friends before the next time these cowards face reelection. Bye, bye Miss American Pie - the day our freedom died.
