Our winner this week is Sen. John McCain. McCain stepped up big this week in opposition to the "stimulus" bill that Obama is trying to force down Americas throat.
From Politico
Sen. John McCain took his most direct shot at President Barack Obama since
the presidential campaign on Friday morning, using a Senate floor speech to
criticize the president for mocking the Republican concerns over the massive
economic stimulus package.“The whole point, Mr. President, is to enact tax cuts and spending measures that truly stimulate the economy,” McCain said. “There are billions and tens of billions of dollars in this bill which will have no effect within three, four, five or more years, or ever. Or ever.”
“$50 million in funding for the National Endowment for the Arts — all of us are for the arts,” McCain said. “Tell me how that creates any significant number of jobs? After-school snack program is probably a good idea. Do we really want to spend $726 million on it?”
“You can call it an agreement, but you cannot call it a bipartisan agreement,” McCain said.
Where was that John McCain during the debates? I haven't seen an argument that persuausive since Mr. Pink took on tipping waitresses.
You just know Obama was hoping to get McCain to fold so he could get coverage from attacks by Republicans. Instead McCain held firm and ripped him from the Senate floor.
