Whats passed in the house is not the final version. Lets see how this works out. Keep in mind its always politics so nothing will be perfect but i do agree it should be better than what we have gotten so far.

The House bill is very, very extreme. And Obama would sign it tomorrow, as-is.

Rs in the Senate have very little power with which to negotiate.

Unless some Ds are willing to cross over we're going to get a very extreme trillion dollar spending bill.

I agree. There is no amount of lipstick that will make this House passed pig look good....hopefully cooler heads will prevail in the Senate....

"but i do agree it should be better than what we have gotten so far."

It is Obama's first test as a leader. If he is really doing his job, he is twisting arms and talking in quiet with the people who matter. We've already seen some of that, it looks like he was at least involved with yanking the birth control stuff the Republicans were whining about.
