Democrat: Obama Team 'Encouraged' Defiance of Pelosi on Stimulus

Rep. Jim Cooper, a conservative Democrat from Tennessee, told a liberal radio network that the Obama White House encouraged him to defy House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the $819 billion economic stimulus bill.

"Well, I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I actually got some quiet encouragement from the Obama folks for what I’m doing," said Cooper, one of only 11 Democrats to vote against the economic stimulus plan that passed the House last week.

"They know its a messy bill and they wanted a clean bill," he said. "Now, I got in terrible trouble with our leadership because they don’t care what’s in the bill, they just want it to pass and they want it to be unanimous."

I love this.  Team O is trying to look bipartisan--and Pelosi doesn't want to be.  :-) :evillaugh:

I think Barack Hussein Obama wanted some house Rrepublicans to vote for the bill to make the process appear "bi-partisan" - to share the blame. Pelosi and Reid want all the Democrats to vote for the bill in order to appear unified and spread socialism, but neither cared about the Republicans. Obama told both of them to pass a "stimulus bill", and to let them write it as they saw fit. Big mistake.
