Seems to me Obama wanted sole credit. Today it was just him, Unca Joe, and about a zillion American flags.

"It may have been Pelosi’s bill, but did you see her at the signing?"

He was in Colorado where he signed it.

That is entirely possible, but you can believe that as things progress, her name will come up one way or the other. If nothing else, she'll see to it. She may be stupid, but she's not a bad politician.

"If the Stimulus succeeds, Pelosi stands to gain at least as much credit as the President since the bill, basically, was hers."

But how many people know that, or will remember it in a year or three? With his prime-time presser a week ago and his solo signing ceremony today, Dear Leader has indelibly linked the porkulus bill with him, and him alone. I'd go so far as to guess that the three names most likely to be linked with it, other than his own, are Specter, Collins, and Snowe. Pelosi's name was in some news stories about the bill, Reid's in others, but nearly every story mentioned the three RINOs who broke ranks with their party and gave the bill the needed votes to pass the Senate.
