It's a stretch to call this political. The mentioning of the Obama grant, which is barely relevant to GP's point, is a far cry from flamebait. What are the other reasons for the flagging?

  The point of calling out the grant, is that the US just created a two trillion dollar stimuls package - ostensibly to help small businesses and others from laying people off - yet we have the highest unemployment ever, millions laud off in a week and tons of businesses closing. Whre is that 2 trillion follars going? Funny you should ask - they pushed for no oversight. This is the biggest theft of wealth in history.
