IMO its concerning that Obama is getting a thumbs up from MSM. I think his getting a rave review in Time Magazine is a cause for concern not celebration as is the ABCnews report about the stimulas.
I have been asleep or is this not the same media who propped up Bush? Do they not have the same corporate agenda and the same financial interests they want to protect?
Eliot Spitzer who isn't at all enamoured with the stimulus is a better judge than ABCNews.
Spizter: "the money, put in perspective —Arne Duncan, our Secretary of Education, has $4 billion to redo all of K-through-12, and everybody’s saying, “Isn’t this great? Four billion dollars.” Goldman Sachs got $12.9.
Eight billion dollars for high-speed rail. Entire high-speed rail stimulus effort, $8 billion. Goldman Sachs got $12.9 .
So what are the priorities, in terms of infrastructure investment, job creation, building the foundation of an economy that will permit us to be competitive so that real Americans can get jobs, not just investment bankers and lawyers?"
