The Washington Times runs an odd story this morning entitled “Van Hollen urges Obama to keep promises<\/a>“. Now, why would Democrats have to remind Obama about his campaign promises a month after the election and a month before he takes office – unless they know something we don’t;<\/p>\n

Rep. Chris Van Hollen, a point man in Democrats’ policy and political shops, said his party recognizes it is now fully responsible for the performance of the federal government and must deliver on President-elect Barack Obama’s long list of campaign promises – or else.<\/p>\n

Making good on those promises – specifically reviving the faltering U.S. economy – likely will determine whether Democrats gain or lose seats in Congress in 2010, he said.<\/p>\n

“I do think the most important thing for the Democrats in the Congress is to find a way to follow through on what the American people expect us to do,” the Maryland Democrat said.<\/p>\n

Topping the must-do list Mr. Hollen laid out Wednesday with editors and reporters at The Washington Times was an economic stimulus packed with New Deal-style public works projects followed by energy, health care and education reforms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m guessing that they know all of those big-ticket items are somehow getting thrown under the bus for more short-term needs like tax cuts. Of course, VanHollen has never had the country’s best interests at heart – he’s a bitter, partisan, BDS-sufferer. Oh, and my congressman. His constituents are a reflection of his own ignorant, self-serving politics. Well, the constituents of his that are eligible to vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
