Steph: Stimulus ‘Great Success’ For Obama; Only Mistake Was Being Too Bi-Partisan
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/08/2009 6:10:13 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Looks like George Stephanopolous is single-handedly trying to balance out the criticism of the Obama stimulus plan, noted here and here, that the weekend edition of Good Morning America has recently aired. Appearing this morning, Stephanopoulos proclaimed that Pres. Obama has achieved a “great success” with the plan. His only error? Being too bi-partisan.

Co-anchor Bill Weir seconded Steph’s emotion, lamenting that the president’s achievement has been lost in all the rancor.

BILL WEIR: What could President Obama have done differently in these first 20 days to fulfill those promises on non-partisan nirvana in Washington?

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: I think part of the problem that I think some White House officials I talk to you concede is that he put too much emphasis on “non-partisan nirvana” rather than on getting the job done. They made bi-partisanship the goal rather than the means to the end.

ABC-DNC White House Spokesman Stephanopoulos hails Obama’s “great success.”

Fixed it....

When is ABC-DNC filing as a 527? They are WAY overdue.

Where I live we are putting so much heat on local Republican “moderates” that they are dropping out of local politics. I say good riddance. The only thing they have done is weaken the Party.
