We need a health bill, but I am sick of congress getting "paid" to vote for one. Bribe? Payola?? Whatever you call it, there is way too much money going for nonsense tacked on to this and most every bill congress votes on.


I brought this up last week when we were discussing Obama's stimulus plans for jobs. Instead of creating one or two large projects which would create jobs in many different fields, he is simply allowing money to be randomly tossed around and be connected to the passage of important bills like healthcare.
I brought up the high-speed rail idea. It would bring our country's transportation system
What did you expect from Obama? He didn't do anything in the Senate. His record in politics speaks for itself. He is all talk and no action.
It's time for him to step up to the plate and be a leader. Well, actually, it was time for him to do that a year ago and we are still waiting.
