Heh, heh, heh...

Some President - can't even control his own party.



Here's my favorite...

And Rep. Maurice D. Hinchey (D-N.Y.) vowed to force the White House to
accept delivery of a new presidential helicopter Obama says he doesn't
need and doesn't want. The helicopter program, which cost $835 million
this year, supports 800 jobs in Hinchey's district. "I do think there's
a good chance we can save it," he said.


This is how Obama comes tumbling down. He hasn't played politics on the
national scene and has no understanding of how to scratch the backs of
those in his own party.

"force the White House"??? So why not just hand each of those "workers"
$100K to do *nothing* and save $755 million?


Big military weapons manufacturers are very adept at ensuring that as
many states and congressional districts get a piece of each contract.

Obama is out of his league.
