Forgot to add: Senate bill #2433 will authorize the United Nations as the official overseer of the project. Why McCain has not used this issue against Obama leaves me speechless – unless he agrees with it’s premise and would vote for it? We’re talking a trillion dollars my fellow taxpayers.

If you think this is the biggest bailout, think GM (today finally getting flushed after laying in the toilet for years) – the gubbmint of the people for the people will never let them go completely under…then, AmericanThinker.com is reporting that Barack Obama’s Senate bill #2433 will probably come up for vote after the July 4th recess. The House H.R.1302 was overwhelmingly approved. This is his idea of feeding the world at the American taxpayer’s expense. America’s promise is “slip sliding away” folks.

Called today and learned that Coburn & Inhofe were both late for the vote because the plane they were on was delayed. They both were going to vote against it. Two more voices wouldn’t have made a difference, but at least I know that they both aren’t stark raving lunatics.

Sent today:

Dear Senator Ensign,

THANK YOU for voting against Sen. Dodd’s payback to Countrywide for the sweetheart deal he was given.

I expect you to give holy hell to Sen. Dodd and Sen. Conrad – please show them this email.

They are nothing but pigs at the trough of government corruption and special interests.

THANK YOU again for your principled stand against this abomination of a bill, and standing tall for honest and responsible American citizen taxpayers (like me!!)

Sincerely,

fred

Wow, it’s great to see that my money and rights take a backseat to special interests in the US Senate. After all, those poor Senators evidently see their job security is more important than mine.

Not to mention all the paid time off while they run for yet another public office. Who’s minding the store? They don’t mind?

As least my ONE Senator, Kyl (R) Arizona voted nay. Nine percent is about all we can expect I guess. Glad to see Obama and McCain earned their $160,000 a year plus perks doing nothing particulary useful.

China may buy the debts but we as Americans will most certainly pay the price. Read that however you want but it should be frightening no matter what.

I just closed on my first home on Fri.

It is nice to know that my 3 extra years living in an apartment, during a real estate bubble, while paying off my debts was for nothing.

Someone pass me a beer.

Rather then hard work etc, I am going to stay in my new home, and hope the government bails me out.

Well I may be laid off pretty soon. So instead of finding new work I will just kick back and forward my mortgage payments to the new lightgivers.

Somehow I feel relaxed now…my house if being paid for and my directv has more channels than ever.

Sad…

Why are Senators allowed to NOT vote? If they miss three votes they should be fired!

The amendment by Cornyn should be called the Dodd/Conradwide amendment.
