My first LTTE of the new year, for your comments:
Editor:
Watch for the Republicans to do everything possible to scuttle President Obama’s job creation programs—not because they fear Obama’s proposals won’t work or won’t help the average American, but because they know they will. As Ken Blackwell (candidate for Republican National Committee Chair) put it a few days ago, “one overlooked issue is that it could create a major electoral advantage for Democrats at taxpayer expense. That would be unacceptable for what is being touted as a nonpartisan measure, and gives Republicans yet another reason to oppose it.” In other words, the Republicans know not only that President Obama’s grand economic plans will work, but that the collective Republican political goose is cooked if he can implement those plans. As usual, we can count on the Republicans to put the interests of their party and of their rich friends above those of the country by obstructing and filibustering every progressive piece of legislation to come before them.
