Critique of Obama’s Washington Post Editorial on the Mis-Named “Stimulus” Package

The arrogance, absurdity, and hypocrisy of Obama’s editorial in the Washington Post February 5 should stimulate all clear-thinking Americans to advise their politicians to vote against Obama’s mis-named “stimulus” putrid package of pork. Obama begins by arrogantly stating that we must “begin” the work of turning our economy around, as if the work had not already begun even before the presidential election of a few months ago. Unfortunately, Obama voted to begin this work with the $700 billion bailout whose effect has been most disappointing so far, as most of the money already spent has been misspent, by most accounts. Although the Democrats allege that the economic collapse began as a result of inadequate accountability, the bipartisan bailout plan failed to create the type of accountability that most informed Americans – other than people like Obama – knew was necessary.
