This isnt a economic recover plan or a stimulus bill. It is a Democrat wish list, a compilation of projects and schemes they have dreamed about but couldnt get funded.

Nothing enrages people like the shattering of their delusions by reality, and Obamamania is definitely a mass delusion that has overwhelmed millions of people. Obama--in fact no one--can live up to this delusion, and when reality crashes down on these millions their reaction to that will be as irrational as is their Obamamania.
