It will be interesting to see if these so called 'Conservative Republican' Governors turn down

[Thrill]

the Big Bad Federal Government Spending, now that they need help.

They always want the Government out of their way. And the Liberals are bad for America. Now they'll all be begging Obama and Biden today.

Article from today.


The nation's governors are meeting with President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday to press their case for at least $40 billion to help pay for health care for the poor and disabled and even more for infrastructure projects like road and bridge repair.

They're likely to get a sympathetic ear.

The meeting in Philadelphia comes as Obama and Democrats controlling Congress are fashioning economic recovery legislation that could cost $500 billion or so. The measure is virtually certain to contain help for states struggling with slumping revenues and difficult budget cuts as the recession deepens.

National Governors Association Chairman Ed Rendell, D-Pa., said the governors are also pressing for perhaps $136 billion in infrastructure projects like road and bridge repairs in the legislation, which Democrats hope to have ready for Obama's signature as soon as he takes office.

Will the Conservative Republicans, say no thanks? I can't wait until one of these idiots like Jindal, Sanford, or Palin try to run against Obama, and the big spending Liberals.

1. Then Obama can go all Bartlet on their asses.

"You asked me at the start of my term for 12 billion dollars in education aid. May I have it back, please?"

2. Have republicans ever turned down government money?

It amazes me that their supporters never come around to asking that question.
