The latest on President Obama, his administration and other news from Washington and around the nation. Join the discussion.

Sure, take the money from Obama as bribe money, pass some laws that are not good for America and run. Sell us out. That is exactly what is happening. To bad that we can't prosecute even when the cowardly run.

We need to get rid of at least 46 Dem's in 2010 to take back the House and at least 12 in the Senate.

Look in your own district and state and take a stand.

Don't let the Dem's think a "few blue dogs" will suffer but NO one else will - vote them out of office now!
