I don’t care if he bites the heads off live puppies. He’s not a republican and the republicans don’t run Congress. That’s priceless.

All republicans have left are obstruction and the hopes of another 9/11.

Way to stay on point~~
You really have a knack for that.

Dildo er, ah Dino, you know you would be screaming from the rooftops if a Republican went back on a promise like this one. (this is the part were you call me a stem and go on about some kind of dribble that makes you look stupid. So, go ahead, stop reading and start to pen your next great post full of hate and venom. That’s the tolerance from the left I love to see.)

For the record, I really thought it was a good idea to try to eliminate some of the lobbyist from Washington. My wife thought I was sick with fever when I said that Obama had a good idea. Problem is, and I think he has now realized this, it is easier said then done.

I applaud him for his effort, but maybe he should keep his goals a little more realistic. Or at least run them though a few people before telling the American people your ‘plan’.

I wonder how long it will be before spokesman Robert Gibbs finds himself out of a job and under the bus?

DINO, I believe the pricetag is currently around $850 billion.

More change you can believe in.

He couldn’t find 3 more people that haven’t been lobbyists to fill those posts?

Actually, it’s not even (3); I was counting the tax problem people, not lobbyists.

Let’s not forget Tom Daschel, whose work at Alston and Bird after the voters in SD retired him from the Senate amounted to lobbying in fact, if not in name.

Welcome to the way things have always been done the “Daley machine” way. “
