NYT: Obama thanked Collins, Snowe, Specter for their “patriotism”

Via Tom Maguire, marveling at how quickly assent has become the highest form:
The details [of the stimulus compromise] were negotiated at an afternoon meeting in the office of the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, involving Mr. Reid, other top Democrats and two Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. After they came to terms, the senators brought in the White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, for assurance that the deal was acceptable to the administration. Mr. Emanuel signaled it was…
Mr. Obama called Ms. Collins and Mr. Specter, as well as Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, another Republican expected to support the deal, to acknowledge they were acting against pressure from their party and, one official said, to thank them for their patriotism in helping advance the bill at a critical time.
WaPo says the cloture vote’s tentatively scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday with a final vote due at noon the next day, hot on the heels of Obama’s Monday night primetime presser. In the meantime, here’s The One’s latest exercise in the politics of fear, another concept earning Strange New Respect these days among the fightin’ nutroots. Fun fact from Rasmussen: The spread between those who strongly approve and disapprove of him has dropped 15 points since Inauguration Day.

Wouldn’t you think that being thanked by Obama would be enough clue that they have screwed up? Simply do not understand these two women. Is there nothing under the sun that will cause them to do the right thing. Just the smell of a little money for Maine, no matter how ephemeral or fleeting, will have both of them groveling.

contact the members of the U.S. Senate listed below. They include the ten most conservative Democrats in the Senate, plus the Independent, plus a Hillary Clinton’s replacement who showed signs of conservatism. If you live in the states represented by these Senators, please both email them and telephone them!
HR1 is pending approval in the U.S. Senate and they will have just enough votes once Senator Kennedy returns from Florida. If any one of the people on this list votes against the bill, the American people will have more time to see what is in the $800 ’stimulus’ bill, and express their opinions to their Senator.

Pelosi owned Barry on this one. He gave her way too much leeway on writing the thing and she put him in a corner so he had to give it full lip service. She unzipped his bipartisanship shuck and left it hanging around his ankles. He’s going to be a laughingstock to the nutrooters as they watch Nan lead him around by an appendage and the pubbies now have a clean shot. I hope she doesn’t put a dog collar around his neck for the leash,..that would just be too much humiliation.

In a Republic, who is “the country?” Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant – merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.

Speaking of patriotism, where’s our entry about how Obama yesterday entertained family members of sailors who were killed on the U.S.S. Cole? A day after he drop charges against one of the bombers. Nice touch, he invites them to DC, they get in town, and then he breaks the news to them.
Obama is the biggest douchebag in the world. I can’t believe he turned the tables on those families like that. At least two families declined to show up. I’d be in front of every news camera in the country.

Teacher in Tejas on February 7, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Today is an awful day to be a moderate Republican. I’m extremely disappointed in what Snowe, Collins, and Specter are doing. There is a difference between political moderation and compromising. To vote for this stimulus if you can only make a little less evil and stupid is still to vote for something evil and stupid. It makes no sense from any viewpoint which prioritizes free enterprise and limited government over socialism–which has to be the most basic core belief of why we are Republican.
I remain a moderate Republican, but I do feel deeply betrayed by the three Senators who best represent my views in the Senate.
thuja on February 7, 2009 at 3:38 PM
The traitor speaks.
This situation is getting so much more ridiculous every single day that it is impossible to see it continuing along these lines for very much longer. After all, there are only so many terrorists that the idiot messiah can release and there is only so much credit he can waste in an attempt to destroy our dollar, while hamstringing our economy for years to come.
Obama has to go and he has to go soon.

After watching McCain’s fake-looking outcry a few times, I’m beginning to wonder if the GOP is opposing the pork because it’s wrong, or are they just playing the same old GOP games that obviously don’t work anymore.
jay12 on February 7, 2009 at 3:42 PM
I wonder if there are any moderate democrats that will vote for cloture but vote no on the actual bill.
Corsair on February 7, 2009 at 3:42 PM
A cut to $780 billion is $780 billion too small.
herself on February 7, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Since this all goes back to the House anyway–it can probably only get worse. I did e-mail Snowe telling her that she had essentially sold the birthright of future Mainers for the sake of a little, short term welfare money. Suspect my efforts were a waste of time and a tad overly dramatic–but what the H—she’s not my Senator. My Senator has crossed the lines to live with the enemy.(Gregg)
jeanie on February 7, 2009 at 4:03 PM
The last thing Collins, Snowe and Specter ought to be congratulated for is “patriotism”. These three fake republicans are making a deal with Satan.
One of President Bush’s major mistakes was trusting Arlin Specter and giving him the benefit of the doubt. This error in judgment has put us all in harms way.
We had better unite, in spite of our differences, to defeat these Marxists before it is too late.

I am not 100% convinced this will still go down. How many blue dogs are still on the fence? How do we know if the bipartisan RINOs did this just to see what kind of reaction they would get. I am not saying that it won’t pass. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t either. I mean why pull Ted out if they were sure they had all the votes? Something just don’t sit right with me… Guess we need to wait and see. And bother those senators to death.

sabbott on February 7, 2009 at 5:18 PM
All it takes is a few… Republican Senators Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter committed treason tonight. That’s right, out and out treason. They took it upon themselves, these three megalomaniacal, mindless, bloated egos, to spit in the face of the entire Republican Party, virtually the whole economics profession and 67 percent of the American people,
to give Senate Democrats enough votes to pass Obama’s monstrous “stimulus” bill.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!????
This bill will NOT stimulate the economy. This bill will NOT create new private sector jobs. This bill will NOT help our current situation. It will destroy this country. This bill is a PAYOFF to Obama’s corrupt supporters at ACORN and in the UNIONS, the rest is a laundry list of Democrat pork and pie-in-the-sky projects that will only bear fruit YEARS down the road, if at all!
—
This bill is literally the worst legislation I have seen since I began paying attention to Congress over twenty years ago.
And unless Republicans pull off a miracle in conference, this bill is a done deal. GOD Help us all..

Not disagreeing with the intent of your comment (which I think I share), but the definition of Patriot is interwoven in our history. I refuse to concede its use to the Left.

“A crisis is a time for unity” I’m not unified with anyone whose “solution” to the crisis actually makes it worse. I think the GOP should attack Obama and the Libs relentlessly.
marklmail on February 7, 2009 at 5:40 PM
You would think ODumbo and his big ears would be able to hear grumblings of disapproval not just from republicans in congress, but everyday Americans that are clearly NOT HAPPY with this pork laden bill.
Reid in the Senate. Pelosi in the House. That would make ODumbo king of the dipshits.
jdflorida on February 7, 2009 at 5:42 PM
I hear you, INC, but the Left are stealing it, anyway, as they do with everything. Next thing you know our Precedent will be wearing 5 flag pins.
As to my view, I think it’s easier to show how they are intent on giving aid and comfort to our enemies than arguing the “patriotism” point as if it were serious. But I think it’s important to come from both angles, anyway.

so, no renovations for the Military Academies? They all have chapels, and churches on Academy grounds…
This will go straight to the Supreme Court… as this effectivly punishes an institution for religious beliefs… and the constitution is clear that “congress shall pass no law” which does that.

In time of crises the GOP? decided to play politics? Have you looked at what is IN THAT BILL????
Only thing the GOP did not do was Surrender.
Romeo13 on February 7, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Exactly what Dick Gephardt did to Bill Clinton. But at least then there were enough Republicans and right-thinking Democrats to kill that “stimulus” bill. But they didn;t hasve enough votes to kill Clinton’s tax increase, and that cost the Democrats the House in 1994. It sure looks like we are watching a rerun now.

Unity would be easy if only the Commie Democrats would concede to the conservatives that stealing a train load of taxpayer money to pay off Commie Democrat constituents in order to buy more votes for themselves into the unforeseen future was theft and high treason.

Thank you. He is my senator.
Believe me I will call his office again and tell him this is totally irresponsible.
I’ve already mentioned Barney Frank and Chris Dodd to his office and their culpability in the financial mess.
I’ve called and emailed his office. After I got the most dreadful boilerplate email reply from him to one email (yeah, I know they do that) I emailed again and called and told his office not to send out emails with such excuses.
INC on February 7, 2009 at 7:35 PM
I hadn’t thought of that. Military bases also have chapels and chaplains.
The Dems are just scurrilous and derelict to all sense of responsibility and thought for the consequences of their actions.
INC on February 7, 2009 at 7:38 PM
The bipartisan unity is the American people hating what our government and Wall Street has done.
It is something most Americans agree on. Your party decided to play politics in a time of crises because they have nothing to lose.
Real Americans thinking country first is the biggest lie ever made.
They will ignore the election and the mandate to try to fix it and be the party of no when our country is collapsing.

Three Democrats posing as Republicans support your slimebag Chicago politician. That doesn’t make them patriots, it makes them slimebags like him who will help try to economically enslave us and all our kids. Did it ever once occur to you to ask where this money comes from? Do you not have any problem at all that so much of it has nothing to do with economic stimulus or jobs?
FYI I’m not a Republican, didn’t like Bush, but I loathe the slimebag you call president, and you can stick it if you don’t like it.

This is so evil. Really, really evil.
Gettin so tired of hearing how we got to pass some freakin massive no one knows what it is so called stimulus bill swiftly to save our nation from destruction. Are they going to do this every stinking month??
Are they going to have another massive trillion dollar so called stimulus for every month of the calender year,,,, all to save us from eminent destruction????
Can you imagine what this nut would do if there were a real crisis??? I can just imagine all the new emergency presidential powers while under martial law that will have to be passed swiftly to save us all from destruction!
Make any laws you want to,,, as long as they call it a stimulus,, RINOs will vote for it!!!

These are 3 brain dead Republican senators.
Everyone wants a stimulus. Republicans want to get rid of the pork. I admit you cannot achieve 100% of the cuts. So name a target figure or specific items (like no money to Acorn) and everyone stick by it. And tell the Negro in front of the world that until the Dems have 60 senators, the Republicans are still relevant and they will do what is right and will not simply cave in to Negro’s socialist agenda.
What happens? We have 3 chickens.

Sorry, Charlie, but there’s nothing to say that anything the president or even Congress can do will “fix” the problems with the economy.
Chances are that they won’t.
And these 3 GOP Senators aren’t “supporting the president;” they’re supporting voting “Yes” to end cloture on the Porkulus bill.
It seems you and NObama are quite the drama queens.
It’s not patriotic to support an $827 billion mountain of pork, earmarks and political paybacks: it’s downright delusional.
Susan Collins wasn’t elected to represent the economically raped citizens of Maine, but the free people of Maine.
Joe Biden told us it was “patriotic” to pay taxes, yet that DemocRat meaning of patriotism was relative, too, when it came to Daschle and Geithner.
Jenfidel on February 7, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Did I miss something, or did Obama question the patriotism of all of the Republicans not trying to get this passed?
29Victor on February 7, 2009 at 11:22 PM
Not just Republicans. Obama has insulted 63% of all Americans. According to the latest poll,support for this stimulus had fallen to 37%. Roughly 100 million+ people are now officially unpatriotic according to Obama’s rhetoric.
canditaylor68 on February 7, 2009 at 11:54 PM
Wait! If we don’t agree with the president we’re unpatriotic!?!?!?!?!?

Cheshire Cat on February 8, 2009 at 12:55 AM
We hear praise of a power-wielding, arm-twisting President who “gets his program through Congress” by knowing the use of power. Throughout the course of history, there have been many other such wielders of power. There have even been dictators who regularly held plebiscites, in which their dictatorships were approved by an Ivory-soap-like percentage of the electorate. But their countries were not free, nor can any country remain free under such despotic power. Some of the current worship of powerful executives may come from those who admire strength and accomplishment of any sort. Others hail the display of Presidential strength simply because they approve of the result reached by the use of power. This is nothing less than the totalitarian philosophy that the end justifies the means If ever there was a philosophy of government totally at war with that of the Founding Fathers, it is this one.

MB4 on February 8, 2009 at 12:58 AM
By saying those Republicans who voted for his ShitOnShingle were patriotic he implicitly declaed that those who did not were unpatriotic. That conclusion is logically inescapable.

So, any word on what little hussein gave these three twits in exchange for their votes?
ErinF on February 8, 2009 at 1:07 AM
The implication, of course, is that the rest of us are not patriotic. I’d rather be thought unpatriotic and support what is best for America, than to be thought patriotic and punt the mess down the road for our children and grandchildren to clean up.
unclesmrgol on February 8, 2009 at 1:17 AM
I triple dog dare anyone to call me unpatriotic just because I oppose the Porkulus Bill!
As a matter of fact, I oppose it because I am a patriot because it will do only harm to my country.
Our Founding Fathers did not pick up muskets and risk death at the hand of the British so that they could set up a government to pay for re-sodding the National Mall, doling out condoms or creating “green jobs” (and no one seems to know what “green jobs” are).
The Porkulus Bill is the only thing that is “shovel ready” because it’s nothing but sh!t.
Jenfidel on February 8, 2009 at 2:12 AM
Wow. Three Repubics sticking it to their party. Guess that makes them…mavericks. So, which one are we going to run for President in 4 years guys? Isn’t reaching across the aisle supposed to make us a better party? Don’t be too mad at them. The sting of betrayal will be gone by the next GOP primary.

You don’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your t.v.

I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I’m the cult of personality
Like joseph stalin and gandi
I’m the cult of personality

Cult of personality
Neon lights a nobel prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don’t have to follow me

I’m the cult of personality
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you want to be
I’m the cult of personality
Like mussolini and kennedy
I’m the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality
Neon lights, a nobel prize
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your t.v.
I’m the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I’m the cult of personality
Like joseph stalin and gandi
I’m the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality
Neon lights a nobel prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don’t have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your god’s name
I’m every person you need to be
I’m the cult of personality

It couldn´t be more obvious.
a) Growth and wealth creation are not on their agenda.
b) They try to build this average recession into “the biggest crisis evah” for entirely selfish reasons.
c) Even if this were not the case, they are economic illiterates anyway.

Patriotic? Following The One as he tanks the economy is patriotic.

Sorry “conservatives”. You had 8 years of “Mission Accomplished”. Now it’s time to clean up your mess.
