Rejected: Public Votes Thumbs Down On Obama Stimulus Scam

Some staggering numbers. Of course the media will be hesitant to report this. Just imagine George W. Bush was pushing something so unpopular, this would be headline news across the nation.

Overall, 53 percent of Americans agree that the Obama stimulus bill will actually hinder economic recovery; while only 31 percent disagree (16 percent are not sure). Fifty-six percent of Independent voters also agree, while only 27 percent disagree (17 percent are not sure). A staggering 88 percent of Republicans agree and just 6 percent disagree (another 6 percent are not sure).

Fifty-seven percent of Independent voters agree that Obama's stimulus package spends too much and does little to stimulate the economy; while just 31 percent of Independents disagree (12 percent are not sure). Eighty-nine percent of Republicans also agree, while only 5 percent disagree (6 percent are not sure).
...
Sixty-six percent of Independent voters think Obama wants to spend too much money on items that won't improve the economy. As for Republicans, a staggering 93 percent agree.

Across the board, the poll found that, on average, 90 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Independents disapprove of Obama's stimulus bill.

"Our poll numbers are no different than the ones being read in the White House," said ATI-News president Brad O'Leary. "That's why President Obama is being forced to campaign across America for his stimulus bill - 90 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Independents oppose it."

To coin an old phrase, this is a pig wearing lipstick.

This is why the Democrats, who have the power to pass anything they want, are desperate to drag some Republicans along so they can call it bipartisan. They know if they can't dress this pig up they'll pay a price in the 2010 midterms.

Dire warnings from the Democrats that opposing this scam will hurt the GOP rings hollow. Since when are they in the business of helping Republicans?

This mess should crumble under its own weight. It's a disaster and Obama knows it. But seeing it defeated would cripple him, so he has to get it passed.

Let the Democrats have it and let them defend it when it does nothing to improve the economy. They'll pay the price.
