Inhofe Finds Silver Lining in Stimulus
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, gave a speech on the Senate floor today criticizing the $800 billion stimulus bill — which is expected to come up for a critical procedural vote later today — but said it could “wind up being a positive thing for Republicans.”
Noting that no Republicans in the House voted for the bill and that only two or three Republicans in the Senate are expected to vote for it, Inhofe said voters would hold Democrats responsible for the bill.
He predicted that the political climate next year would be similar to that in 1994 when, two years into former President Bill Clinton’s first term, Republicans took over the House and Senate. That was the year Inhofe was first elected to the Senate.
