'Bipartisanship' Washington Style

Eric Cantor Won His Election Too

Several times our new President has flatly stated "I won" to cut off discussion of items pertaining to policies or legislation that is being criticized or opposed. He had promised a new transparency in government but as his almost one trillion dollar stimulus comes together he wants no one to question its content.

Earlier I mentioned a Wall Street Journal article that outlines some of the elements of this legislation that quite frankly deserve to be examined. Unfortunately the Associated Press reports that Mr. Obama's answer to those who would examine his proposed spending package is that they need to quit listening to Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration. "'You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia dared to question portions of the legislation and Mr. Obama told Mr. Cantor: "I won, I will trump you on that."

Mr. Cantor was on Rush Limbaugh's show this afternoon discussing the controversial stimulus proposal, which includes funds for ACORN and other interests that helped elect Mr. Obama.

If I remember correctly, Eric Cantor was elected by the good people of Virginia to represent people like myself. He stood for election in his race and guess what?HE WON! Dennis Prager has opined that there are really two Americas now. Mr. Obama's election proves it. He won, but almost half of the voters voted for someone else. Is it really fair that the America that didn't vote for Obama be denied representation and a voice?
