Article: "A political pattern to stimulus tour."

The link: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23379.html

" Since Congress passed President Barack Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill in February, administration officials have traveled to at least 66 events across the country to tout the massive spending program or hand out stimulus cash to grateful local officials. (Link is Politico's and is left intact.)

" But a POLITICO examination of the travel reveals a distinctly political trend line: Top officials have hosted events predominantly in states that Obama won in 2008.


" What’s more, the examination revealed that Obama officials all but avoided Southern states that Obama lost. "

Say it ain't so, Barry O! You'll remember that President Bush "...was criticized in 2004 for sending Cabinet officials on trips that critics said doubled as campaigning for the president’s reelection bid. "

Drawing on that same article, here are the numbers. There were at least 66 trips to tout the porkulus or hand out cash to drooling sycophants. Of the 66 trips, 52 were to states that the Obamessiah won outright, or that some people say ACORN "stole" like Ohio and Colorado.

Remember that according to my ex-wife, my math skills are deficient. Therefore, let's do the math: 52/66 = 0.78787878787878787878787878787879. Or 78.79% Yes libs, that's 3 out of 4.

But what about the other 14 states? Drawing from the same article, it turns out that the Obamessiah lost them narrowly. The Corruptocrats hope to win them in the next election.

The Osama (er...Obama) administration, of course, denies that there is any political motivation.

" ...As of mid-May, the administration had spent only 6 percent of the money Congress allotted for the program, and the White House says officials will continue to travel the country until all of the money is spent.

" The events generally come in the form of roundtable discussions, upbeat speeches and sweeping announcements of billions of dollars for local communities. Some have all the hallmarks of campaign events, featuring banks of television cameras, flag-bedecked stages and local politicians working the crowds. Many generate the kind of admiring local media coverage that politicians crave — and largely escape the attention of national outlets. " (Link is Politico's and is left intact.)

But that's damming in itself. First, the article says that the Obamestration officials will travel until the money is spent. Also, many of them have "...all the hallmarks of campaign events..."

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes true? Propaganda?

Say it ain't so, Barry O!

Is it just barely possible that you might be a megalomaniac?
