No doubt. But he made them and his comments reflect the attitude of many, that he is a victim and victimhood is good, because it makes excuses for so many failings.

But the fact remains that citizens in some states who are facing economic hardship may not be assisted through the stimulus bill as a result of political misrepresentations of the bill by several Republican governors rather than anything factual.

Actually those misrepresentations have been made by the Demoncrats. Pelosi and Reid have making promises they cannot keep and know will provide less than what everyone who said this was the answer to our nations ills then they can deliver. It is water under the bridge at this point. Now it is time to see if they can deliver. The people are watching. It will be a death knell IMHO if they screw it up.

Nope...in fact, the misrepresentations are made by a few Republican governors.

Bobby Jindal (a Repub candidate for pres in 2010?) is the latest.....turning down more than $90 million in federal unemployment insurance benefits for residents of Louisiana with the false claim that it would result in a tax increase for state businesses.

Makes Jindal sound like a partisan "demon" to me.
