    Why the hell not? They help to pay for all of the Obama family holidays, more golf outings then a golf pro gets, great state dinners for the hate America first crowd, all of Michelle's extravagant vacations... Obama will be the first president to leave the White House a billionaire. Not bad for a community organizer from Kenya relying on affirmative action. Just pay and stop complaining. Are you some kind of racist or something? (Sarcasm)

    It is ridiculus to pretend that repairing that bridge will do anything to improve employment anytime soon.

    there is nothing “shovel-ready” about the Brent Spence Bridge. Analysis on the project began only recently, and the Federal Highway Administration has yet to open the issue to public comment. Even if all the necessary funding were in place (which it’s not), the FHWA estimates, the earliest possible start date for construction on the project would be 2015, with a completion date in 2022.

    Part of the reason is that various noise and environmental studies are still being conducted to ensure that the project is in compliance with state and federal regulations. According to a 2004 agreement between Ohio and Kentucky, the “environmental phase” of the Brent Spence Bridge project was estimated to cost $18 million.

    This is a shovel ready project that won't be ready for a shovel for at least three years.

    Let him keep doing this sneaky crap. People are starting to notice . How bout when he laughed and joked after spending $775 billion of hard earned tax payer money on "shovel ready jobs?" No small surprise that he is now esing our money to fund his reelection campaign..

    You have a point there. Everywhere he goes he has to drag Air Force One and hundreds of other people with him. Republicans have to pay for their air time, not the Teleprompter in Chief.

    You shouldn't pay for that. Stick to paying off your 1978 Ford Pinto.

    Because liberalism is a mental disorder.

    Always was, always will be.

    example.

    Rick Perry is a bleeding heart liberal.
