This is going to be a tough one for Obama to try to explain away.</p> Just one of the many reasons that State Secrets is such a battle.

It would only take a couple to scuttle accepting the Stimulus package. And I don’t know if they can take it piece-meal. Plus Jindal might be able to veto and require a higher voting requirement. Plus some states automatically require a Supermajority for budget items.

It would be a real tragedy for Louisiana if Jindal did this…but it puts a whole lot of pressure on his State level Republicans. If the recession hits hard down there people could really get desperate.

Obama needs to make these guys follow a specific timetable…if they lag behind…especially by a month…they should be shown the door and repolaced with someone who will start withdrawing at due pace.

With Summers, Geithner and Bernanke we’re in trouble.

Obama has gone with the Establishment in his choices. Where this goes wrong is that the Establishment is part of the problem.
