Least we not forget that the Administration is promoting unions and has 
indicated their support of
restoring many of the things the unions have lost in the last several 
years.  That'll clearly help the
auto-makers, etc.

One thing I heard early this morning on the 5am drive to work is that a 
number of Dems are dropping
hints that the GOP governers that aren't supporting the Pork-Package are 
not in support of the black
Americans in their states.   Looks like we're going back to the racists 
tactics...if you aren't in favor of
something than you must be a racists...
