This just says it all about President Obama and his entire Administration – from the Washington Times:
As a thank-you to its most famous customer, Amtrak is renaming the train station in Wilmington, Del., after stimulus “sheriff” Vice President Joseph R. Biden – after the project received $20 million in stimulus money and came in $5.7 million over the initial announced budget.
Spokesmen for Mr. Biden, who said he personally fought for stimulus money for Amtrak, didn’t respond to messages Wednesday or Thursday…
The only thing which says “waste” more than Amtrak, itself, is the absurdity of naming a station after a living man…and then going massively over budget on the project. One wonders – Biden is Catholic. I’ve heard he frequently prays the Rosary…for goodness sake, I can’t imagine how a Catholic could ever envision any set of circumstances which would allow him to sign off on something being named after himself while he lived. There’s a reason, you know, why the Church usually waits a very long time before proclaiming someone a saint…better to wait until all the evidence is in, you know? Biden might end up the greatest Vice President in American history…but a bit more than two years in to his term, its a bit premature to be building monuments to him.
This is what you wanted, however, my fellow Americans. A majority of you voted for precisely this. No backing out of it now – you are free to recover your honor in 2012 and vote to end this imbecile regime…but you’ll never get past the fact that, once upon a time, you really thought that Barack Obama and Joe Biden were the answers to America’s needs…
