See other thread. BTW, one of the above is NOT Obama, and has nothing to do with him. Just sayin'

Bush bequeathed half of the TARP package to Obama. Roughly $350 Billion to him. I didn't see anything on the HuffPooPoo saying he turned it down or gave it back. Obama voted for TARP as a US Senator so I'd say it had a little something to do with him. He was already Prez-Elect at the time I believe. This doubles as my response to you in the other thread. I can't keep them straight anymore.

I currently have a hunting license in two states

I like politics, and I like arguing about politics.

There is a difference between discussing and arguing politics in the abstract, because it's fascinating, and simply defending one's own political views. Not the same thing.

How one GOP Senator is holding up having DADT come to the floor via filibuster (vote now moved to tomorrow)

Quote:
Here's what Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that she needs to support a full Senate debate on the defense authorization bill (the vehicle for Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal): 15 guaranteed votes on amendments (10 for Republicans, and 5 for Democrats), and somewhere around four days to debate the bill.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid already promised her the 15 amendments, but his initial offer was for a day or two of debate. Here's her response to reporters tonight, after a Senate vote.

"The majority leader's allotment of time for to debate those amendments was extremely short, so I have suggested doubling the amount of time, assuring that there would be votes, and making sure that the Republicans get to pick our own amendments as opposed to the Majority Leader."

"If he does that I will do all that I can to help him proceed to the bill. But if he does not do that, then I will not," she added.

Late this evening, per Collins' request, Reid delayed a test vote he'd planned to hold tonight.

filibustering won't be changed. the dems had a better hand the last two years then they've got now and didn't attempt to change the rules. they recognize that they might need the same powers one day. then the r's will be yelping that the d's are holding everything up.
and i'm doubting there won't be near the posts/threads about the evils of the practice when it happens.

Eventually China is going to get sick and tired of financing Americas social programs. The interest on the debt is a HUGE part of the Federal Budget.
