I understand Senator Barbara Boxer demands that PORK be spelled PORQUE in solidarity of the French shops she likes to shop in (someone slap her across her face for her disrespect of General Walsh, pampas witch!)

"and $2.7 billion for eight C-17 and seven C-130 cargo planes that the Pentagon did not ask for." can someone say PORK!!

I am for all our troops But The so called pres needs to think also for the USA and bring our troops home NOW and needs to think of us the USA born Here instead of Iraq and afganstain think of the USA MR Obama yea sound out his name and It has bomb in it

All but the 721 mil for the UN. Might as well Pi@@ it right down the Toilet.

All the press has to do in order to return to true journalism is to treat ALL politicians the way they treated the repubs in Watergate. Or treat all politicians the way they treated GWB. But you see the pattern. The losers are so eager to return to Camelot any way they can, they are unable to do their jobs. To think that in the worst of communist countries, the politicians and the press put out CRAP for the masses, and they pretended to play along but NEVER believed it. And here in America, where we have freedom of thought, people WILLINGLY allow themselves to be so easily led. It's funny, really. And George Orwell was wrong. He too described an oppressive society. It works so much better, and is so much easier to do when you have the illusion of freedom.

So true, so true cranky, but at least I'll have the satisfaction to know "I" can see right threw those crooks. You know, it wasn't too long ago that EVERY news outlet would report on Obama's current approval ratings, or his firing of the I.G., or even his plan for universal healthcare (and an opposite point of view i.e. Barbara Wagner) Google Barbara Wagner, you'll get an insight into what "national healthcare" will look like soon...

Big job, Concerned. There are a LOT of people to throw out, and nothing but sheep to try to move to your side.

I love how these idiot reporters point to previous bad behavior to justify the bad behavior now by stating that "these types of bills...since Sept. 11..." I also hope everyone is keeping score on "WHO" and "HOW" your money is being wasted during a recession. Newsflash to ALL the Senators who are spending our money – I think we could have passed on the $42,500,000 for assistance for Georgia OR the $5 billion dollars to be used to open up a U.S. line of credit for an International Monetary Fund loan program (75 Billion to follow) for poorer countries hit by the world recession given WE’RE IN THE SAME RECESSION YOU BUNCH OF IGNORANT FOOLS! I can’t WAIT until November 2010 to speak with my PEN and vote these idiots OUT ON THEIR EARS!!! http://www.congress.org/congressorg/webreturn/?url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.2346: (Look under GENERAL PROVISIONS--INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS)
