Monday afternoon, I made mention that a the Republican Governor of Vermont<\/a> was making nice to Obama (remember it was Republican Senator James Jeffords of Vermont who defected to the Democrat caucus to take away the Republicans’ majority in the Senate).<\/p>\n

Well since I only have that useless-ass CNN International in my hotel, I had to watch Wolf Blitzer cover the story. He began by hinting that the Republican party was fracturing, he said that “Republicans are beginning to split from the Congressional GOP…” on the stimulus package – then he jumped into the story about the Vermont governor siding with Obama. How is that a split? A governor has no say in how in how the Republicans vote in Congress.<\/p>\n

But if Blitzer wanted a real report about a split in Congress he could have followed this story on Fox News Channel<\/a>‘s web site;<\/p>\n

A key Democratic senator told FOX News on Monday that he wants to strip “tens of billions” of dollars from the economic stimulus proposal, rejecting the White House claim that senators are complaining about just a tiny fraction of the package. <\/p>\n

Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Republicans and Democrats alike want to gut the nearly $900 billion program of items that he says will not stimulate job growth. <\/p>\n

President Obama and his aides have downplayed disagreements over the package as it comes before the Senate for debate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess if it’s not Republicans saying something about disagreeing with their party, it’s not newsworthy at the Barack Obama News Network. <\/p>\n

Speaking of Barack Obama, is anyone going to mention that his “relaxed” dress code <\/a>at the White House harkens back to the Jimmy Carter years? Carter always looked so casual while he was trying to figure out how to un-fk the world. All. Day. All. Night. <\/p>\n

When is Obama going to go full-Jimmy and give the deserters and resisters amnesty?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
