President Obama May Kick Governor O'Malley's Figurative Butt

In the Gazette, we are told that Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley intends to blow almost all of Maryland's share of the historical Stimulus (I) Package on politically rewarding pork.

Almost $500-millions of Maryland's $1.5-billion share of the Stimulus funds would go to prop up teacher retirement funds and to assure delivery of the politically essential Geographic Cost of Living Index ("GCEI").

However, today President Obama declared at a meeting of mayors of major cities and large local governments that he would "call them out" if they wasted Stimulus money on Pork projects that don't directly generate jobs.

I'm trying to figure out how spending one third of Maryland's $1.5-billions of Stimulus money on entitlements constitutes generating jobs.

Anyone making book? I'd love a ringside seat when President Obama comes on down to Annapolis and cleans the Governor's clock. I'll give 10 to 1, Obama, and if MoCo County Executive "Ike" Leggett wants to weigh in by giving so much as a cent of the Stimulus money to CASA de Maryland so that illegal aliens get jobs Americans need, I'll give the same odds, and double it the other way if President Obama looks into it and rightly sends in 10,000 Feds to clean up that trailer park over there on Crabbs Branch Way just south of Shady Grove Road.

In other words, "I'd pay money to see that".

Good money!
