Who will work to oust the Obama regime? Oh yeah, that’s almost equivalent to a spending freeze… except we could save millions of children’s lives too.

This stunt will guarantee support for House Republicans from the 20% of Americans who think Hoover had the right approach to depression management. The other 80% will lean Democratic. Keep it up.

There is a major Caveat to the earmark fight, however. The Democrats are not the only guilty party here.

And they blow an opportunity by letting 26 republicans not vote. Some of them had to be in or near the chamber. They should be called out on the carpet over this. They were elected to represent and they can’t even manage to vote?

We do need to find out who the 26 republicans are who didn’t show up to vote! They are being paid to be on the job when they are needed. And they were desperately needed for that vote! Who are they??? We will find out and they will hear from us. Don’t forget (like they have)…THEY work for US!

While the ammendment itself had no chance to pass, it does show Obama that his veto would. I doubt this matters to a now deaf Obama.

What purpose, beyond campaigning for 2012, does Obama serve at a police academy in Cleveland? After claiming how he was working so hard on health care yesterday, it seems surprising that today he decided to just pitch whatever came from his ‘working’ sessions.

Who is running the white house while Obama is constantly out campaigning? Clearly, the people that are running the white house send him on the road while they do the peoples work.

Is it possible that as an executive, Obama is anything but abject failure?

Anyone here want to bet Obama will find his way to that Boston/Cavs game tonight?

The 1980 budget was Jimmy Carter’s budget, far smaller than current, for sure, but the military was rather badly neglected in that budget as well.

Voting “present” or skipping votes althogether didn’t cause Obama any trouble, after all.

I have a better idea. The unemployment rate and DOW Jones average are currently around 1980 levels – lets freeze government spending at 1980 levels too.

Ooooooh, I get all tingly when you talk like that!
