I was just about to link to this Chronicle News Service rundown of all the Bush policies that Obama rolled back with executive orders. But the thing is, he’s so massively screwing up the stimulus bill, that everything else really pales in comparison. People disagreed (or pretended they didn’t know what words meant) when I predicted that Obama’s compromise fetish would be a problem. But as we’re seeing, Obama’s “stimulus” is already short on the things it needs and long on already-failed tax cuts because he wants 80 votes in the Senate. I’ve been saying for weeks that this is nothing more than an indulgence, and one that we can ill afford. And here’s just the latest example:

House Democrats are likely to jettison family planning funds for the low-income from an $825 billion economic stimulus bill, officials said late Monday, following a personal appeal from President Barack Obama at a time the administration is courting Republican critics of the legislation.

The irony is pretty thick. Republicans want more poor kids they can then neglect.

So what did it mean when Obama told Republicans last week “I won.”?

The stimulus bill is written. Democrats enjoy huge margins in the House and Senate, and Obama’s approval numbers are as high as they will likely ever be. Who, besides Obama himself, thinks delaying the bill to appease lunatic Republicans with more provisions that won’t work is a good idea? This is nothing short of insane. Is it too much to expect that big Democratic victories two cycles in a row produce Democratic policies?
