Where do they get off?

Where does the RNC get off? Ridiculous - i'll just say that for now...please read:

This is from CNN:

"(CNN) — It's the one-month anniversary of President Obama's swearing-in, and not surprisingly the Republican National Committee is out with its' verdict: It's been "disappointing."
"Obama's first month has been marked by wasteful spending, failed bipartisanship, and questionable ethics," the RNC said in a document circulated to reporters.
The RNC specifically faults the new president for failing to garner a significant amount of GOP votes for his massive stimulus plan, despite pledges of bipartisanship during the presidential campaign.
Republicans also criticize the stimulus measure for including some money for interest groups, despite the president's earlier view that the bill would be kept clean of excess spending projects.
The lengthy document goes on to criticize Obama for not being more transparent with what is in the stimulus bill and appointing individuals to government agencies who appear to have lobbied in the past."

OOOOOK. Lot's to say on this one...

First of all - Bipratisanship?!? Can they really say that was Obama's fault? It was pretty apparent that the GOP won't extend a ten-foot pole over the party line to work with the rest of the country...not the other way around. Even a moderate could see how this "fact" has been manipulated from the beginning.

Next - is wasteful spending. He's only been in office A MONTH people! Please tell me that you don't judge someone's bank accounts after only a month of having them open?? Not to mention the extrememly wasteful spending in the last stimulus package that was signed - by Bush! Where is all of that money - and when did we get to see the entire bill? Where was that transparency?

And, now speaking of transparency - another thing the GOP claims Obama has not lived up to - again only one month in office mind you. Please visit HERE:http://appropriations.house.gov/ if you ever thought you were kept in the dark about the stimulus bill. This link has been posted on hundreds of websites, news websites, and tickers. Surely one of the GOP at the RNC had seen it?! I figure an exact copy of the entire legislation is plenty transparent. Oh yeah - the traditionalists in office don't know how to work the internet - it's too new fangled...plus if you start airing your politics to the public people will find out your secrets! uh oh.

And one last dig that isn't quite related - did you know my governor - Rick Perry - the republican governor of Texas, had almost opted out of stimulus assistance! So - the republicans make a stink about paying for the stimulus - and then since we have to pay for it we don't want what we're paying for?!?! Where does that make sense? If you know PLEASE post a response, I would really love to hear the logic.

Thanks for listening - now go Chew on it!
