Emanuel Spends $1.5 Billion to Buy Arkansas Votes
In a blatantly obvious vote-buying tactic, Rahm Emanuel has placed a well-timed telephone call to Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln.
Alexander Bolton, writing at The Hill:
“President Obama is looking to throw a life preserver to farmers in Arkansas and elsewhere with an administrative action worth $1.5 billion.
The action will help one of the Democrats’ most vulnerable Senate incumbents.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has promised endangered Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D) of Arkansas that the administration will help farmers in her state stay in business.
Emanuel called Lincoln on Thursday morning to tell her the administration would find $1.5 billion within its budget to help farmers in Arkansas and around the country who are coping with natural disasters.”

Our exit question today is directed at Mr. Emanuel.
“What Budget?”
Your party in power has refused to present a budget and your vote-buying scheme is duly noted.
Remember in November
Note from Jane Jamison:
Latest Rasmussen Poll, July 23, 2010:
Republican John Boozman 60%
Democrat Blanche Lincoln 35%
Hey Blanche! Karma's a bitch!
