Stimulus Or Political "Slush" Fund To Pay Back Supporters And Buy Votes?

This is short and to the point, I believe Obama is not going to go out of his way to help anyone if  1. He hasn't already been helped some way.  2. He isn't in some way being helped in the present.  3. Or he thinks he will be greatly helped in the future.  That's the way his dictator brain works, I'm sorry to say.

Glad to see some of you are catching on. I will inform you there will be a lot more coming at you. Right now or I should say upon Obama taking office a piece of legislation was introduced to the House it is called House Joint Resolution No. 5.I am suprised everyone has not been shouting at their congress over this piece of legislation and it has nothing to do with health care or the stimulus. It does have a whole lot to do with our Constitution though. Wake up America!!!!!

Mr. Obama is not the President of all the people.  Only those who helped buy him the presidency and special interest groups such as Acorn will benefit.  He doesn't give a rat's behind about the country. He wants to be the next Chavez.  He's a dictator in the making and scares the heck out of me. 

Can you believe the Cap & Tax bill wasn't even written and put to a vote.  That should be illegal and he and his cronies should be held accountable.

The health bill will include jungle jims, street lights, jogging paths etc.  What a crock!  We've got to stop this self appointed god from changing the Constitution allowing 3 terms as President.

you quoted

Adam Hughes, the director of federal fiscal policy for the non-profit OMB Watch

yes it's non profit but is he working in the white house does he know exackly how the money is being send out?

are is he a gop in a non profit company whose main goal is to find something anything this president has done wrong???

well then his words of course would be critical of how the money is beign spend and to whom

but consider form this

Georgia's Republican senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, voted against the $787 billion economic stimulus package, blasting the bill as a bloated government giveaway.

But their disdain didn't stop them from later asking Defense Secretary Robert Gates to steer $50 million in stimulus money to a constituent's bio-energy project.

Gates didn't do it, but Chambliss, Isakson and other Republican opponents of the stimulus aren't going empty-handed.

Billions of dollars worth of Defense Department stimulus money is paying for repairs and construction at military installations in areas represented by lawmakers who said "no" to the legislation, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

and

a few days after criticizing the "staggering" cost of the stimulus, Rep. Brett Guthrie, a Republican from Kentucky, urged Gates to consider using stimulus money to renovate a military hospital at Fort Knox, a sprawling Army base located in his congressional district.

The Pentagon's stimulus spending plan shows no money for the hospital repairs. But of the more than $159 million in military stimulus money slated for Kentucky, almost $38 million is for other repair work at Fort Knox. Most of the total, $110 million, goes to Fort Campbell, home to the Army's 101st Airborne Division. It's in Republican Ed Whitfield's district.

Oklahoma Republican Mary Fallin joined her Democratic colleague, Rep. Dan Boren, in asking Army Secretary Pete Geren to use $8.4 million in stimulus money for repairs to buildings at two Oklahoma National Guard sites.

Fallin had called the stimulus a "Big Brother spending program" that didn't do enough to finance needed infrastructure projects. The money she and Boren sought isn't in the Pentagon's spending plans.

The Pentagon was allotted $7.4 billion in stimulus money, the bulk of it for overdue base repairs and new construction. About $5 billion is going to 16 states that top the Pentagon's stimulus spending list, including California, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Georgia and Kentucky, where the military has a significant presence.

About $1.2 billion is for new hospitals at Fort Hood, an Army base in Texas Republican John Carter's district, and Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps base in California Republican Darrell Issa's district. The two hospitals are the largest individual projects to be paid for with defense stimulus dollars.

Carter voted against the bill, saying the stimulus would pile debt on future generations. But he hailed the $621 million hospital project as a victory for the economy in central Texas, where Fort Hood occupies more than 217,000 acres.

Construction of the Fort Hood hospital is scheduled to begin in September 2010. Also planned for the base is $100 million more in stimulus money for work ranging from road repairs to replacing heating and cooling systems.

John Stone, Carter's spokesman, said the congressman has been pushing for several years to get a new hospital at Fort Hood. The new hospital is also supported by Rep. Chet Edwards, a Texas Democrat who chairs the House subcommittee that controls military construction spending. Carter is also on the subcommittee.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is logging Republican names into a "Hypocrisy Hall of Fame," an online catalog of GOP lawmakers who voted against the stimulus package yet are "celebrating the benefits of President Obama's economic recovery bill in their districts."

finally most of the complaints have been itis moving to slow, the reason is they are required to give details of how and were the money will be spend so they are not just signing checks

the only one who got the money with in two weeks of signing the bill was the middle clas who have loss jobs because of the ecomony they have been getting 100 a month extra since the stimlus bill was signed
