Pawlenty on Obama spending freeze: "like somebody eating three Big Macs and then ...ordering a diet coke
Posted by: Rachel E. Stassen-Berger under Gov. Tim Pawlenty Updated: January 26, 2010 - 10:07 PM
Surprise. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty says President Obama's proposal for a spending freeze just won't cut it.
"It's kind of like somebody eating three Big Macs and then deciding they are going to control their weight by ordering a diet coke," he said on Fox News Tuesday night. In a new stance, Pawlenty said Obama could have offered all Americans a one year tax holiday for the cost of the stimulus, TARP and bailouts.
He also offered a little sports commentary. He said he was in "mourning" because, "our beloved Vikings beat themselves."
