Obama's Secret Stash

Hold On To Your Wallets the Senate is Going to Vote

"I don't know if there is a Senator that doesn't have something in this bill that was important to them," Mr. Reid said, "And if they don't have something in it important to them, then it doesn't speak well of them."

That just has to be the second best quote of the year. Of course the best quote was Nancy Pelosi’s comment that the country should migrate away from those evil fossil fuels like oil and in to natural gas. This person is two heartbeats away from the Presidency and she doesn’t know that natural gas is a fossil fuel. OK I was going to be nice but the comment is soooo idiotic I am going to rephrase my remark, and I will quote me, “…she is too stupid to know that natural gas is a fossil fuel.”

Anyway, back to Harry. He has made deals with all of the democrats in the senate (and they don’t deserve to be capitalized in every sense of the word) so that our tax dollars are being spent on earmarks. Just what is an earmark?

According to an online dictionary it is – ‘To reserve or set aside for a particular purpose.’ See Synonyms at APPROPRIATE. What does appropriate mean? To take for the common good. To take exclusive posession of.

The government of the United States is appropriating our hard earned dollars, and not just the dollars of the ‘evil rich,’ but everyone’s dollars. Here are a few samples of what we are going to be paying for –

Florida - $3 billion to $5 billion to keep Florida residents from losing Medicare Advantage benefits while the rest of us do, Connecticutt (and let us not forget that Chris Dodd and his shenanigans with Freddie and Fanny helped to bring us to this recession) - $100,000 for the Univ of Conn Medical Center, Louisianna $300,000 to support Medicaid susidies to help in the recovery from Katrina, Massachusetts and Vermont $300 and $500 million respectively to go into Medicaid subsidies, Michigan exempt from Blue Cross fees, Michigan and Connecticutt reimbursements for certain hospitals, Montana, North and South Dakota and Wyoming receive higher Medicare reimbursements because, and get this, it is still has ‘frontier’ hospitals and doctors, Montana (remember this is Bauckus’ state) extra money for individuals in Libby who suffer from asbestos poisoning, Nebraska – and Nelson is not going to be re-elected in my opinion – $100 million to pay for Blue Cross of Mutual of Omaha fees and 100% payment for new Medicaid coverage, and Vermont for $100,000 for community health care facilities. THIS IS ALL ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE HEALTH CARE BILL IS GOING TO PROVIDE EVERYONE!

In a recent interview a woman was asked what Obama was going to do for her. She said that he was going to reach into his secret stash and give her money to help her out. Get your wallets out, folks, or as some like to say,…”Obama’s secret stash.”
