The Washington Post and the Obama Economic Plan

The Washington Post: Interesting Editorial from the Liberal Post on the Obama Economic Plan, the article states that Obama should show leadership by making the Democratic Leadership on the Hill remove the Pork from the Economic Plan; just as Obama has been critical of big business of late; the WP states the following, " Now the president should make the same demand on those in Congress, including leaders of his own party, who are cluttering his fiscal stimulus plan with extraneous and counterproductive provisions. " It should be noted that this blog noted before the Inauguration that Obama was naive to think that the Hill would not place Congressional Pork in his Economic Plan. The White House should have come out with a simple plan, not allowed the Democrats on the Hill to think this is Happy Hour for Democrats. If Obama cant not get Republican support he will own the Bill, if it works he gets all the credit if it does not work then he cant blame any one but himself, will he be another Jimmy Carter Mark 11 ?. It really depends does Obama want to be Carter or Reagan.
