    It was not a great week for our President..but perhaps he learned that you must sell your policies to the public before you send them to the Congress. Rush, Hannity and the other right wing commentators had a field day picking apart the stimulus package and they did it over just a small number of proposed projects in the package. About 1% of the spending.
     
    Talk radio had a great time beating down some of the few "liberal" ideas in the proposal.   So why did the administration let some of the projects in the package.  Was it planned that they would draw fire and therefore they would take them out as part of the negotiation? Condoms, birth control, fighting bees illness, etc.   New computers for the Agriculture Department.  Was it planned?
     
    The White House took the offensive late in the game and perhaps if the Senate does finally pass a bill and the House and Senate come to some good conclusion then the public might just more on to listen to what else the President wants to do.  But don't make this mistake again.  Think what Rush will try and do.  After all he says he want the President to fail.   So, take it to the talk radio folks.   Go debate them.  Make them tell the truth.  This week those talk show hosts put out a lot of garbage and what makes me mad they know that the stuff they are saying is partially wrong or just a spin. 
     
    If they want to hold the President accountable, should the nation not hold them accountable?
