DCCC chief Chris Van Hollen, the Maryland congressman, released a statement declaring: “House Republicans are fast becoming party of No-bama. Americans will hold Republicans accountable for being the party of no – no to President Obama’s economic recovery, no to children’s health care, and no to equal pay for women doing equal work.”

A short time, ago, I saw a Republican House member using the excuse that they ALL voted against the recovery package because it had too much spending in it and because they hadn't seen it soon enough to review it. My response is the same as the Prez's - a stimulus package IS a spending package AND there were plenty of time to get details about the bill in the press so I'm sure the members of both parties had plenty of time to return the bill.
