In order to obstruct any further stimulus by the Fed and thus to intentionally slow economic recovery, because Sen. Richard Shelby (R, AL) seems to believe that harming the economy will play to the Republican's political advantage in November.

Because they can. It's too late now. Obama pandered to the foaming dogs all the while having Summers spit elitist-propping poison in his ear. This is Obama's big reward.
