Partisanship

A lot of people are blaming Barack Obama for the complete and through lack of Republican support of the stimulus bill he's backing.  The problem is it wasn't his bill that the House voted on.  Before the bill went to committee, Obama met with Republican leaders to put tax cuts and other incentives in the package to encourage bipartisan support; maybe not unanimous, but still better than nothing.  Then the bill went to committee and then Nancy Pelosi and other leaders of the Democratic Party got ahold of it.  They put out a bill rife with Democratic agenda-based spending that Republicans couldn't vote for.  So that puts Nancy Pelosi on the list at #2 as the dumbest woman in government.  Stay tuned for who the dumbest woman in government is.
