RedState blames Obama for Microsoft Bridge

Apparently the “fine” bloggers over at RedState have started to run out of things to blame Obama for, so they decided to start making things up.

Most of you have probably already heard about the Microsoft bridge that will connect West & East campus, which currently is separated by a public highway. If not, here is the original CNN story.

Basically the Mayor of Redmond applied for $11mil in stimulus money to help build the bridge, which would alleviate traffic on the public highway and connect the two sectors, and Microsofts campus’.

Erick Erickson of Redstate.com, a mouth-breather neocon version of DailyKOS, somehow found a way to blame Obama:

Instead of the blue screen of death, let’s call it the blue span of death. Like the bridge to nowhere, Microsoft has somehow gotten its hands on $11 million of the stimulus dollars to build a bridge that will connect Microsoft to . . . well . . . Microsoft.

This is another example of Obama deciding he knows what’s best and us winding up with a raw deal.

Apparently Erick doesn’t do the whole “reading comprehension” thing, since the article he goes on to link states that the Mayor applied for the funds, and Microsoft has footed a little less than half of the bill for the bridge, which would be open to the public.

Last I checked, there are funds available for public infrastructure projects, and the Redmond Mayor took advantage, although Erick seems to think that Obama personally cut Microsoft a check for $11mil. Due to the low IQ of Redstate readers, the comments on the story are basically an echo chamber.
