We really should have primaried this guy...oh wait.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) broke with President Obama on Wednesday, saying he would not support any additional stimulus spending.
Bennet, who was endorsed by the president in Colorado but is facing a tough reelection fight, rejected the $50 billion public works program proposed by Obama earlier this week.
As I recall, many people were opposed to the President supporting this guy in the primary:
Bennet has taken steps to distance himself from Obama since winning a very competitive Democratic primary. The president endorsed him during the race and worked on his behalf, but Bennet said the morning after the primary win that he'd "have to see" if he wants Obama to campaign for him this fall.
Wow Bennet....ungrateful much?
And to top it off...he's sounding more like:
The statement is a sharp pivot for Bennet, who voted for the initial $787 billion stimulus plan backed by Obama in February of 2009. The freshman senator sounded more like a Republican than a Democrat on Wednesday, calling for any new spending to be funded through unspent stimulus dollars.
As to Senator Bennet being unsure if he wants Obama to campaign for him this fall...he might not have to worry about that. I think now would be a great time to tell Senator Bennet how we feel about his current position.
