From Obama's website:

Too bad your fellow Democrats in congress don't feel that way. There was a bill that would do essentially what Barack said he wants to do, But the Democrat leadership killed it in the House Ways and Means committee. They did the same thing with H.R.2893 Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2007. So when the Democrats profess to be for the middle class, just remember the two opportunities they killed in committee like an unwanted pet. If any of these dopes are your representatives and are up for election in November, be sure to let them know you want the help they promised and pigeon holing these bills was unacceptable by voting against them.

Well isn't it a good thing that Obama doesn't vote down the line with Democrats and blindly vote how other Democrats do?

Read the sig.

You're trying to slander Obama with democrats past actions. Why don't you pick something worthwhile to talk about. This topic is going nowhere fast because its not about Obama really at all. He's going to try and rally congress to pass the bill like anyone would and if they do pass it great, if they don't be mad at congress not Obama.

I don't give a darn about the partisan stuff, but this "stimulus act" would just have increased the deficit even more. Not only is deficit spending bad economics that creates a cycle of artificial booms and busts and a potentially devastating national debt, it is also un-Constitutional, since future generations will have to pay for it despite having no say about it, a clear violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments.

More accurate names for this act, therefore, would include the "Cheat Your Children Act" or the "Defraud the Future Act". Both McCain and Obama will carry on this unfortunate tradition, and for that among other reasons I don't care which one wins.

Amen.
It is disgusting to see how both parties just keep printing money. This uncontrolled printing of money will cost us dearly.

I wonder how many people know that the Fannie May and Freddie Mac bailout essentially doubled our deficit.
peoples hard earned 401K money will become worth less by the time they retire....

I said nothing about his history of voting down party lines. What I said was it was good in that situation that he thought individually, so that whole post is kind of irrelevant.....

If your going to do that it really needs to be on a thread with 50 or more posts so your statements get lost in the bunch.
