didn't obama win the election by an insane margin?

I could have sworn that's what happened 2 months ago.

Dear Pres.-elect Obama,

Why are you caving on a stimulus package before you're even inaugurated? I'm reminded of the West Wing episode and one of Leo's lines that goes something like, "We won and now the other side can take a seat for 4 years." Obama, you won. People voted for you in insane numbers. They voted for your policies. You know what? You don't need to compromise with the Republicans. You have a nice big majority in the house and will eventually have 59 freaking Senators caucusing as Dems. Start shoving your liberal economic policies down their throat. People saw what happens under the republican economic helm, it failed, people grew sick of it and voted for you. Can we stop placating the other side? Please. They got their ass kicked in the election. Your approval rating is like 70-something percent. Use it. It's time to test out those hope and change themes that defined your campaign and get some serious work done.

Love,
Julie
