It's funny to hear mention of LBJ in this editorial. Because if anyone knew how to wield his power to scare his party into falling in line, it was him. Pretty sure I've never met the guy, he's long dead and he still intimidates me. From beyond the grave. Talk about power. Now, if Obama could just get a tiny bit of that swagger of LBJ and get the Dems in line to fight the GOP.
We're not going to save the economy or create jobs by solely cutting spending. Please, someone, explain to me how less government will create more jobs. If I'm missing something, I'd love to hear it. Obama's plan will create *at least* 1 million jobs. Anyone else shopping around a plan that does so. And every public opinion poll says raise taxes on the rich (and get rid of those damn corporate loopholes!)- so instead of worrying about who will line your pockets next election, why don't you actually represent your constituents!
*Steps down off the soapbox*
