Obama says his economic plan will be refined

REFINE usually means to most people that the end product will be improved.

In the case of Washington DC it means "add some pork for my district and then you will get my vote". It is nothing more than legalized bribery and extortion.

What a joke.

Mark my words--after the bill is "refined" it will be close to 1 trillion and believe me you will not hear about all the fine print/pork that gets doled out. In a time like this for our country you would think the selfishness and selfserving could take a mild break but as you can see these people have one objective--get something from the government for their area to use as a club on their opponent in the next election.

Gag.

I get this uneasy feeling about Obama's pending presidency and his lack of experience.....something analgous to a dog chasing a bus....then the bus stops to pick up passengers - the dog has suddenly caught the bus, but what does the dog do with the bus now?

The next 4 years are going to be painful!
