Good morning,

It's snowing in Washington, which makes for somewhat limited visibility.

President Barack Obama heads to Capitol Hill today to meet with lawmakers to press for an economic stimulus bill.

Today's news the usually poll-happy Swamp reporters won't dare report: the latest Rasmussen Poll finds that most Americans are skeptical of Obama's so-called 'stimulus" plan: "Notwithstanding the media blitz in support of the Democrats' over-the-top "stimulus" plan, most Americans are skeptical. Rasmussen finds that 59% fear that "Congress and President Obama will increase government spending too much in the next year or two." Conversely, only 17% worry that they will cut taxes too much." Comments instapundit: "I think we can safely reassure that group that their fears are unfounded."


Well, "Dissent is Patriotic" --where the bejesus where YOU when Bush/Cheney:
1. Took down the WTC?
And said bin Laden 'did it?' who is bin-Laden?--he's CIA!!!! Isn't that what Al Qaeda is?
2. Suspended Habeas Corpus and started kidnapping americans and
3. Flying them offshore to TORTURE them?
4. Killing American soldiers for a WMD LIE_-it's for OIL!!!!


Another news story the Swamp is so far ignoring: the Congressional Budget Office has released its cost estimates on the so-called 'stimulus" bill. The bottom line? Lot's of spending, not much stimulus. See http://www.cbo.gov/ for the report.


good photo this morning.
