The Stimulus Package

[Jason1]

Obama tried Bi-partisanship, but there are way too many republicans who are just too stubborn and stupid to possibly agree with anything the Democrats are trying to do to help. Now, the Republicans are being cry babies, sore losers if you will, and making the entire country suffer in the process. Obama actually cares about the American people, thats why he has gotten a little more firm, effectivley stating "look, I won the election, the american people voted for me, and this is what im going to do and I'll get it done wether I have 1 republican supporting me or 35. Real people are suffering too much to delay this any longer, the priority is getting the bill passed, not getting 100% republican approval"

Bottem line republicans really only care about themselves and the rich.

I think you may have made some generalizations there.

That made me laugh so hard I literally cried.

And Jason, I understand what Obama wants to do and his world view. The problem is that the American people diagree with him in this case.

My question is this: If the public hates this bill, and they keep on hating it more and more as time goes on, if you look at the polls. Knowing this, should Obama still push it through?

Where are you getting this information that the public hates this bill? Last I heard support had slipped some since a month ago, I'll admit that, but the numbers I saw last were 51% approve and I think 29 or 39% dissaprove, with the rest I'm assuming undecided. Thats still majority supporting it.
