There is a Governor who fully supports Obama's stimulus package, and no it's not Sarah Palin..It's Governor Jim Douglas from Vermont, read this and prepare to vomit..Enclosed is a link to a blog he wrote where he not only praises Obama but practically kisses his ass

President Obama welcomed the rare Republican supporter of his economic stimulus bill today when Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas arrived in the capital to lobby GOP senators to vote for it.
Douglas, who is vice chairman of the National Governors Association, is bucking his party over Obama's massive economic bailout plan.
In a brief photo op with Douglas, Obama said, "What we can't do is let very modest differences get in the way of the overall package moving forward quickly."
Douglas sat next to Obama in the Oval Office and said, "If I were writing it, it might look at little different. But the essence of a recovery package is essential to get the nation's economy moving."
(This is what he wrote in his blog)
Well, Mr. President, thank you for your time today. Thank you for your leadership on matters of great importance to the American people. You were gracious in reaching out to the governors of our country in December before you took office. We had an opportunity at that time to discuss the economic crisis, the fiscal crisis that's confronting most of our states. And we indicated that we needed some assistance from the federal government to stimulate the economy, to create jobs, to help us balance our budgets and preserve essential programs for the American people and avoid the need to raise taxes at the state level.

I’m willing to bet that this liberal RINO governor from Vermont doesn’t carry a lot of weight with most Republican senators.
Proving that the only good thing to come out of Vermont is syrup.
Question. Who are the RINOS? Us or them?
Vermont. Naturally. *rolls eyes*
Why wouldn’t he?
The bailout includes money for the feds to subsidize state overspending.
They’re calling it helping the kids. But Democratic politicians have advocated this kind of spending before last year’s crisis.
Yeah I have no clue who he is, never heard of the guy, just thought I’d get the info out there
I doubt he does. IF ABC’s best biased news story is that some GOP Senator from Vermont (whoop de doo) is backing the stimulus, liberal thinking dictates that every GOP Senator will.
charlie Crist is not far behind!
Them.
One fellow socialist Republicrat helping another.
My parents know him. This really surprises me. I sent my Mom a link.
He reminds me of John Edwards. Hey might be time to turn back on tune back in and drop out again.
99% of politicians are whores so I’m really not surprised.
RIGHT..eDWARDS...
I’ve got a couple links you should make sure she gets him:

Bye-bye doofus douglas.
The Senate GOP can’t “improve” the Porkulus Bill. The GOP should vote NO as a group, walk out, and let President Obama and the Democrats own this disaster.
Couldn’t have said that better myself.
A RINO with a Target painted on him. Throw in Swartzanegger Von Ryno and you have bankrupt states from east to west.
Bankrupt states and their Governors support a bailout.
I believe you have a typo in the title...Is that supposed to be a "B"?
