The President seeks out Republican intellectuals?

I would think there are few parents, if any, who would let their teen age children write the family budget. That is the way I perceive Democrats writing bills. I am mindful of past bills like the inequality and draconian drug laws, the "Three strikes your out” laws and most recently, the “Banking Bail Out” legislation.

To call Democrats “Incompetent” as a body of people would be kind.

As a party, they did absolutely nothing to help the President get elected that I could see. All the work was done by volunteers. I still have strong feelings how the party left Sen. Obama and the volunteers fining for themselves during both the primaries and the general election. I am mindful neither Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid nor Rahm Emanuel endorsed him in the primaries nor in the general. There is a lot they could have done and I articulated some them in previous post during the time. They left him and his volunteers moving that mountain by their lonesome not having, I honestly hope, the intellectual motivation to help them. And they didn’t! Pres. Bush did more to help by staying out of it. He may have been grinning with the amusement of Nero watching the whole process unfold.

So it is with now Pres. Obama entrusting them to write one of the most important legislations of his administration to date. I would suspect the President recollects the sloppy work they did on the “Banking Bail Out” bill by not even embedding into the bill the most basic of instruments when you either loan or give people money and that is accountability. When a parent or grand-parent gives children money, the first thing they do is put restrictions on it and then have a follow-up conversation with them.

One good thing about having an opponent is they will keep you on the straight and narrow and tell you how it is every move you make. On that you can bet your mortgage payment. Under those circumstances, I find it wise of President Obama to let his opponents, the Republican Party, take a look-see at what his party is proposing as legislation seeking their feed-back. I am listening closely to some of the break down of the Stimulus Package as articulated by the Republicans regarding millions for sod for the mall in Washington, D.C. and contraceptives for citizens as a stimulus to our economy. I repeat; In my opinion, it is very wise of President Obama to seek Republican input. With him not knowing all the ins and outs of how Congress works, I salute him for the way he is handling his Stimulus Package. You go, Mr. President!
As always,

P.S. I was impressed with the contrast between the Republican and Democratic representatives discussing the Stimulus Package on the Chris Matthew show this evening.
(Reprise) Irregardless what Gov. Blagojevich says, in my opinion he is Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s Sister Souljah.
