WTF is wrong with the Dems?


The Art Of The Compromise

Check out these excerpts from an article on the proposed bailout for the auto industry...and then shoot me.

  • Democrats bent to the will of the president on several key demands, most notably in agreeing that the emergency funding would be drawn from an existing loan program aimed at promoting fuel-efficient technologies.
  • Democrats had hoped to take the money from the Treasury's $700 billion financial rescue program, but the White House objected. A breakthrough came Friday, when Pelosi dropped her opposition...
  • The Democratic proposal makes no provisions to replenish the loan fund, as Pelosi had hoped.
  • Democrats flirted with the idea of naming a seven-member board to oversee the auto bailout but decided instead to have the president name an individual, as Bush had suggested.
  • Democrats agreed to do whatever George Bush wants in perpetuity.

Okay, I made the last one up.

Don't they realize that they won?! And that the reason that they did win is because Americans don't want them to do whatever bush wants?!?!

Jeez, what does it take?!
