I had to think twice before understanding this alleged "link to Obama".
That link only exists if you imagine that Obama personally penned the entire 1000-page pork bill, which of course is nonsense. The monkey here is the House of Congress, which produced this pork mountain.
But maybe that is rule from now on? Criticize anything democrat, and you are called a racist?

Obama has blown more money on his current "stimulus" pork plan than the ENTIRE ACCUMULATED IRAQ WAR of the past 8 years cost. And that 1 month into the office.
Get some perspective.

ACORN, by the way receives 2 Billion dollars in this "stimulus plan". Borrowing 2 billion Dollars from the Chinese and handing it to a Democrat party political activist group --- that sure will "stimulate" the economy. Brilliant!

"Stimulus" plan? You mean using money that you don´t have to fund projects that you don´t need?
I admit it is a stroke of PR genius to re-label government pork spending as "stimulus". But renaming it does not change what it is.

SushiSake:
"Willing to spend money" -- sure, but whose money?? The government does not have a pot of gold under the White House lawn. They have two ways of producing all this mountain of cash that the Democratic government is now doling out (and with a special eye to their friends):
1 - taxation (e.g. taking from everyone, including you)
2 - bororrowing it, adding to the huge existing debt (hi, China), and
3 - simply printing it (the Robert Mugabe School of Economics)
No. 2 and 3 come out the the same eventually, because taxpayers will eventually bear the cost of debt and inflation.
So, which do you prefer?

"Peace talks" LOL. The proper word is surrender. Look out for the next Jihadist country, but this time one armed with nuclear weapons. The West better wake up soon, if we want to survive this.

It used to be OK to let a 6-year old play outside in the daytime. It certainly was when I grew up in Europe. In Japan, it still basically is, by and large. Alas, times are changing here too.

"Economic recovery plan" ---- hahahaha, what a great euphemism for "government spending".
If government spending was the key to economic success, the Soviet Union would be be alive and flourishing, and so would Venezuela and Cuba for that matter. France would be too, while Hong Kong would be a basket case.
The democrat party in the US has dusted off all their spending and entitlement plans, re-labelled them as "stimulus". This would be hilarious, if the rest of us were not affected by it.

14 kids and no dad? Somethings wrong in that picture. She is only thinking about her obsession, but not about the children she is creating.

jeancolmar:
Check some facts before repeating Hamas lies. Israel never blocked food and other supplies from entering Gaza. In fact, Israel also supplies (and continues to do so, electricity and fuel to Gaza).
The tunnels (which by the way originate from Egypt, which also keeps the Rafa crossing into Gaza closed; why is that never mentioned?) are used to smuggle weapons.
