Surprise: Obama Springs to Action With Federal Cash for Alabama
Publius Forum ^ | 12/23/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Tropical Storm Ida happened well over a month ago, almost two now. But regardless, the great father in Washington has generously opened up the federal purse to help those struggling folks that lost so much to that storm. The devastation was so bad that USA Today said of the storm, "Tropical Storm Ida slogged ashore in the area in November with heavy rains but left relatively little damage."

Huh? Wait a minute? If the storm wasn't so bad, why is the Obama Administration suddenly, almost two months later, making a show of sending federal disaster money to Alabama?

Oh, wait. Maybe this is why...

Rep. Griffith of Alabama leaves Democrats for Republicans

Freshman Rep. Parker Griffith (D-Ala.) switched his affiliation to the Republican Party on Tuesday, saying he could "no longer align myself with a party that continues to pursue legislation that is bad for our country."

Hmmm. Maybe Obama is trying to bribe the left over Democrats of Alabama with federal "disaster" cash in order to make sure no more of them jump into Representative Griffith's boat?

What else could explain this quixotic largess but bribery?
