ObamaFest

Last summer, Senator Clinton withheld endorsing Senator Obama until she received Obama's promise to pick a running mate who is "Non-Presidential,"  meaning somebody who is either too old or too incompetent to run for President in 2016, criteria that fit Joe Biden like a pair of cosmetic surgeon's gloves.   This left Evan Bayh outside of the Obama tent, presumably a poor place to demonstrate leadership and to ready the world for a Bayh administration. 

BUT WAIT!

Senator Bayh fired the first salvo of 2016 today with his op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal calling for an Obama veto of the bloated spending bill making its way through Congress. 

"This week, the United States Senate will vote on a spending package to fund the federal government for the remainder of this fiscal year. The Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 is a sprawling, $410 billion compilation of nine spending measures that lacks the slightest hint of austerity from the federal government or the recipients of its largess.

The Senate should reject this bill. If we do not, President Barack Obama should veto it."

The ObamaFest Team welcomes any voice in Washington that advocates an end to business as usual, and we continue to hope that the loudest such voice will come from The White House.
