White House blackmails Senator John Kyl

This is another example of the thuggery of the Obama White House. From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air:

Barack Obama and his administration don’t mind playing hardball on the stimulus package, as Jake Tapper reports.  Yesterday, Senator Jon Kyl suggested that not only should Congress refuse to consider a second stimulus package, they should bring the current Porkulus to a halt before it wastes even more money.  Rather than make a reasoned argument for their stimulus package, however, the White House threatened to choke Arizona’s federal funds in retaliation [...]

Here is Senator John Kyl talking to Greta Van Susteren about whether or not this is black mail. Senator Kyl is very measured in his words.
