That was fast (no source and probably made up)--I wonder what the terms will be for todays vote?

Good for those politicians---who are they---I want to vote them out.

The bill changes I heard of (raising the FDIC insurance for consumers) is not doing the trick. They better quit--or their economy might fail. Mine should not fail no matter what they do---because I am not drinking the socialist kool-aid. it is going to be a blast watching the sheep loose it all---because they trusted a government to run their lives. Ahhh--the cry of drowning socialists sheep who were just to gutless to go after their personal dreams---music to my ears!

don't come to my house, crying for help if your a obama supporter---I have a big gun!
