WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A public furor over big bonuses paid by firms bailed out with U.S. taxpayer money is fueling resistance to President Barack Obama's ambitious plans to extend government intervention in the U.S. private sector.
Republican opponents say his commitment of huge sums to try to revive the ailing economy is driven by a philosophical belief in greater government intrusion in many areas, from healthcare to education, dubbing it socialism.
Obama is pursuing these policies just 13 years after President Bill Clinton, a fellow Democrat, disarmed Republican opponents by declaring: "The era of big government is over."
As the enormous cost of the Obama's effort to stimulate the economy grows, many are weighing just how far government should be extending its powers.

They should do what fellow communists did in the former Soviet Union. Press Sec. Gibbs should say that Obama has “a cold.”
It really doesn’t matter that they are divided over at KOS or DU - they’ll show up to re-elect Obie-the-wan.
The voter rolls must be purged and everybody needs to re-register to vote. The voter rolls are completely corrupted.

Absolutely!!
What’s going to happen next?
Don’t worry friends, Obama is going to see to it that his 1 mil security force handles any problems that might come up.
Sleep well.
my hubby had a great point. the bonuses were ~ 165 million.....that’s over $500,000 for EACH of our 300 million citizens!
You and your husband are complete morons. How can you even write such a ridiculous thing?
“What going to happen next? Is the Olympic Brazillian Bikini Wax team going to be delivering Girl Scout cookies at my front door. I’ll keep you posted... “
You just sit right there and relax. I’ll get the door.
When the country starts turning on the Indokenyan Messiah there’ll be no stopping, and his RAT supporters in Congress will follow. There is no love anywhere for the punks in the White House who write texts for Teleprompter Jesus!
I don't know about that. I honestly think that his election was a once in a mid century cycle. I poll watched many times and saw people come out to vote who never vote. One man had not voted since Kennedy and not bothered to re-register (easy to disqualify). I saw 18-22 year old kids in numbers like never before in a precinct that has loads of retirees.
These are exactly the people who will give up when they think that magic and unicorns did not appear on cue. We really have to work hard in the mid terms to turn it around.
No...it’s less than $.50.
I wonder how many of these people who are getting uneasy were folks who voted for Osama? Now that the glam is starting to wear thin i bet there are lots of folks who are staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the tube nowadays and thinking “What the H#@~ did i vote for”?
Just the thought of it makes me wanna laugh and cry!
America is staring at Obama like the audience in the First Act of Springtime for Hitler.
ACORN will take care of all of that. Don’t worry; be happy.
I know. The only part of this disaster any good will be watching numbskull liberals try to explain away the obvious.
