Republicans Fearful Of Obama's Package
The folks over at Politico are having a little too much fun, but can you blame them?:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the [stimulus] bill was on track for passage by February 16, while Republicans continued to voice their opposition.
“We expressed our concerns about some of the spending that’s being proposed in the House bill,” House Minority Leader John Boehner said after meeting with Obama.
“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?”
Boehner said congressional Republicans are also concerned about the size of the package.
