Did you ever have an opinion you didn’t have cut and paste, Jan?

What’s hilarious is this:

Jan/Sanjay/simply done/timebug: Yet I suspect that conservatives will more likely than liberals forgive the fact that Obama’s governance at times will come to resemble just what he used to caricature in George W. Bush.

The part we will “forgive” is any Obama governance (of which “leadership” is purely a joke of late, even amongst the fawning pundits) that resembles GWB’s in foreign policy. My beef with the former POTUS was his domestic policy… not his foreign policy.

Well.

Looky! Looky!

It’s our old friend Jan / Sanjay / Simply Done resurrected in the form of Timebug.

I thought I recognized the copy/paste no original thought format of the posts.

Timebug, it turns out you’re no smarter than your other personalities.

What a shame.

(TAPPED) I just got off the phone with Jim Manley, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s spokesperson, for a story that will come out on Monday. Some newsy items: According to Manley, Reid — who thought the original bill was “pretty good” — does have the votes to gain cloture for the stimulus bill that comes out of a series of amending votes this evening. On leadership’s opinion of the Nelson-Collins compromise attempts, Manley had less information.

“[Reid] supports attempts to try and broker a compromise,” he said. “The goal continues to be how best to get a bill out of the Senate. To the extent Republican votes are needed to get a bill out of the Senate, he’s waiting to see what exactly they come up with.”

A final vote could come later tonight or tomorrow. Manley expects the final vote for cloture to be just north of 60, and notes that Senator Chuck Schumer at a pen-and-pad briefing this morning “acknowledged for the first time that eighty votes is done and we’re just trying to get it out of the Senate.”

“…Impending disaster.” riiiiiiight.

Obama can flail about all he wants, but the public is not buying this bill.

Every day that passes by with this in the headlines of the papers and all over the Internet and hotly discussed on talk radio is another day that the public is getting to see this for what it is. The Internet is FULL of sites that have the details of this disastrous plan.

This is not the HopeyChangey transparent gov’t that Obama campaigned on.

The Congressional Budget Office says that the stimulus will actually harm the economy and that the best option is to do nothing.

The public is waking up to the pure Audacity of this plan. Approval numbers and support for this fiasco continues to plummet.

The Senate phone lines have been overloaded.

Has there ever been a Presidency in the history of the United States that has put itself on such a crash and burn course so early on?

Obama’s only hope is to pass this before the giant is fully awake, probably in the middle of the night.

Tick. Tock.

I’ll tell you one other thing which does disappoint me. Remember FDR saying “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself?”

I’m getting tired of my Presidents telling me that I should have fear and that the only thing ostensibly protecting me from certain annihilation is the government.

Larry, I agree (as we so often do). I cannot look at my kids, and ask them to loan banks and govt programs money for bike paths, snow machines in Minnesota, or companies that don’t exist. Dems control the WH and Congress. They should own it.
