RedState: Democrats to Railroad Through Another Super Secret Massive Spending Bill

They put it off to get the stimulus through. Now the Democrats want to rush this through without actually releasing the text of the legislation for public inspection.

As President Obama hosts a summit Monday on "fiscal responsibility," Democratic leaders in Congress this week are preparing to ram through the House a massive spending bill that includes thousands of unscrutinized pork-barrel earmarks and the largest increase in discretionary spending since Jimmy Carter - a bill written in secret, which to date, no one in America other than the Democratic congressional leadership has read.
Connie Hair notes:

"The omnibus spending bill was originally placed on the legislative calendar over two weeks ago, yet that proved inconvenient to ramming through the obscene "stimulus" bill. Shaky Blue Dog Democrats - in what passes for their idea of fiscal responsibility this Congressional session - were not comfortable with trying to pass the bloated trillion dollar "stimulus" spending bill while porking up another half-trillion in omnibus spending."

Obama backing away from Panetta for CIA?

Red State post says Obama may be backing away from Panetta. You be the judge when you read the story. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I know there's been a lot of back and forth on this "leak". What I found surprising was some of the support for Panetta coming from the Right as I listened at times today to the talkies talking on TV.

President-elect Obama, stung by criticism from California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein and West Virginia Democrat Senator John Rockefeller backed away from the reported appointment of Leon Panetta to head the CIA:

RedState is saying that Obama is already backing away from Panetta after sharp criticism that ensued following a the leak that Obama was going to pick him to be the CIA chief . In a media availability today, a reporter asked Obama what he though Panetta brought to the table as Director of the CIA considering he doesn’t have an intelligence experience. This is his response:
