Let's take a history lesson from Professors Clinton & Gingrich and let Americans know what it means when Republicans stall and filibuster the stimulus package.
Back when House Republicans decided to shut the government down, Bill Clinton first made a show of fighting them. A few days later, he quietly let them shut the government down - and cut their own political throats.
It's long past time that the Obama Politcal Machine turned to its very effective online division to create an app for every desktop, iPhone and Blackberry and TV set in the land.
Remember the Debt Clock? It showed, by the second, how much our interest on the national debt was costing every American? Remember those numbers getting higher and higher? Well, hold that idea in your mind and now picture a new clock - one that starts ticking away right now and keeps ticking while Republicans stall and filibuster.
On one side, we could all see a picture of a Republican performing the stall tactics of the moment.
On the other side, we see an ever increasing digital number: job losses, mounting up by the tens of thousands.
Get the idea?
They stall. We lose jobs.
They stall. Our economy gets worse and worse.
Mr. President, you must let the American people know what Republicans are doing - pecking your stimulus package to death. They are forcing needed stimulus spending out of the bill while they force in more tax cuts for wealthy Americans that got us into this economic mess in the first place.
Call it The Republican Filibuster Job Loss Clock.
One hour of filibustering = 1000 job losses.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
We Americans aren't the swiftest of political observers. But this will give them something they can understand - and get mighty upset about!
