LOL! Here's your 'hope and change' with a $150 million honey bee insurance? $650 million to buy government employees new cars? Can you say political payoff? Honey bee insurance will turn around the entire economy darn quick!
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone getting a flashback here?
Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), generally viewed as a Clinton ally, announced yesterday he would oppose the spending part of stimulus package, describing it as a sop to special interest groups that would undermine efforts to reduce the deficit.
In 1993, Bill Clinton tried to push through a similar bill, although not nearly as large as Obamas, that was nothing more than a special interest pay off. Nevertheless, Bob Kerrey, and a band of other democrats, jumped ship. The bill was ultimately filibustered with democrat support, and killed.
Apparently Obama's version of "hope and change" is to simply follow the same pattern of previous presidential failures.
