The New RNC Chairman Applauds the GOP House Caucus

Brand new RNC Chairman Michael Steele had some kind words for the GOP House members that voted unanimously to oppose the Obama/Pelosi Porkulus Bill:

“Let me start by saying, the goose egg that you laid on the president’s desk was just beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Now, folks, I know we’re in the era of bipartisanship, but it’s easy to be bipartisan when you outnumber the minority two to one. Anyone can be bipartisan then. But I thought it was very, very important that you sent a signal, and you sent it loudly and very clearly, that this party, that the leadership of this caucus, will stand first and foremost with the American people. You made it very clear that in order to grow through this recession, that you would not redistribute the wealth of the people of this nation. That you would empower them to earn it, invest it, save it, and spend it on their terms.”

The Senate has a lot more "mavericks" in their caucus, but hopefully they were paying attention when the GOP slapped down Pelosi and Obama. There's no reason why they should accept this bill without substantial changes.
