The politics of this will be fascinating.  Traditionally, conservatives think that federal employees are overpaid, while liberals keep mum on the issue.  But conservatives also usually oppose anything that Obama proposes.  I wanna hear Limbaugh on this one.

As far as I can see, the only way to block this is to talk about how the federal employees are underpaid.  I can't see any Republicans making that case.  OTOH, I don't see the Dems wanting to vote for it.  Party unity will be tough on this one.

Steven, of course he does! That'll save what, ....$2.5 Billion a year right?
You don't think he'd cut,....oh......I don't know,.......*FOREIGN AID* and save $45 Billion a year do you? Why no, let's just hurt the working man while foreign "Leaders" take our money and buy the newest version of the Mercedes Benz "S" class!
I'm telling you, ten years from now we're going to be collectively asking ourselves, "WTF were we thinking!?"
Do a little experiment, next time you're in the supermarket checkout line and you're at the cash register turn around and ask for a show of hands on who voted for Oblunder.
This guy is turning out to be a real Dope!

No truer words were ever spoken.

Except I think we are talking about different people.

Needto, and Oblunder is so bad that the lefties get real nervous whenever you mention "Palin."
Evidently they think Palin's a real threat to Oblunder.
They try to hide their fear with bravado; "Boy, I hope Palin does run!"
They have no idea how bad this guy is.
"Barak Oblunder, he's no Jimmy Carter, not even close!"

Jimmy Carter saying his prayers at night and chuckling; "And Dear Lord, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU for Barak Obama!
