Obama: Voting for Spending Bill is Patriotic

Obama called the three wishy-washing RINOs - Specter, Collins and Snowe - to thank them for their "patriotism." Agreeing with the tax-and-spend Democrats is now a form of patriotism. Perhaps Obama now thinks that his campaign pledges of fiscal responsibility and Pay-go/balancing the budget is really unpatriotic. My, I thought they hated to use that term except when someone was dissenting?
