Obviously, the Republicans are smarter . The Democrats were running all over tv last night saying that the bill would be passed. Obama had already had it in his speech notes on the campaign telling people it would be passed, they had to be re-written! So much, for Obama getting the Dems in line ! He must have forgot the 50+ that voted with the Republicans on the vote! Washington was exactly where McCain and Obama should have been. One of them will be President and will inherit this mess! They should have a seat at the table! They are still being paid to be SENATORS first and CANDIDATES second. The bottom line is the American people Democrat and Republicans are over this smoke and mirror back door politics!
