Jerusalem And God Vote Gets Booed At Dem Convention
People that vote democrat are going to look to see who sold them out, and those people will not be elected.
Delegates and members of the Democratic party booed after former Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) discussed God and moved to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor of Los Angeles, had to ask for the Yea and Nay vote several times before declaring the motion passed.
C-SPAN cameras captured the dissatisfaction among members after the motion passed.
I think Mitt just won, whether anybody wanted him to or not
Democrats have changed their convention platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
The move came after criticism from Republicans.
Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected.
He called for a vote three times before ruling.
The party reinstated language from the 2008 platform that said

Examples of earmarks in omnibus spending bill
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2010/12/16/national/w141122S06.DTL
I think maybe the whole bill should be read word for word don't you?
It hard to believe they just sign on the dotted line and agree to spend tax dollars like piss water with out ever knowing what they're actually signing into action.
That's a bullshit way to run a country in anybody's book.
Senate Democrats' now-abandoned 1,924-page omnibus spending bill contained more than 6,700 pet projects known as earmarks. They include:
_$1 million for peanut research in Athens and Tifton, Ga.
_$3 million to restore oyster beds in the Chesapeake Bay.
_$360,000 for the Buffalo, N.Y., police department to purchase surveillance cameras.
_$800,000 to develop advanced packaging for combat rations.
_$4.4 million to develop laser technology to counter roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices.

Don't believe the hype
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obama-Consumers-lose-if-apf-1043447495.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=2&asset=&ccode=
Neither party is looking out for you.
Congress exempts, on both a state, and a federal level, any type of regulation for trading derivative because the people trading them might not like it and leave, and that would take away a competitive edge.
So the big car wreck happen because boys will be boys and don't always know their own limitations or at least that's what they told us was the reason for the 2008 crash anyway. ( I have serious doubts, about the "intent" of those "boys").
So congress hims & haws around and coughs up a package that has a special condition for the good ole "boys", to be able to by pass the rules.
Because what ever Wall Street wants Wall Street get, courtesy of our Congress, no matter what the consequences are, to Main Street.
President Barack Obama says consumers would lose if Republicans regain power in Congress and try to roll back his hard-won Wall Street overhaul.
He says the GOP's promised repeal of the law would mean the return of a financial system whose near-collapse led to the worst recession since the Depression.
"Without sound oversight and commonsense protections for consumers, the whole economy is put in jeopardy," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address.

This paper discusses the efficiency of proposed Congressional legislation to regulate the Over-the-Counter (OTC) derivatives market in light of the provision in the legislation that effectively exempts customized OTC derivatives contracts from clearing requirements and exchange trading. The exemption allows OTC derivatives dealers trading customized contracts to continue trading in the same opaque markets in which they engaged in rent seeking behavior that almost led to the collapse of the financial markets. The manuscript discusses why Congress has proposed these exemptions, why the exemption creates economic inefficiencies
Systemic Risk Posed by OTC Derivates Trading
OTC derivatives trades were largely exempt from state and federal regulation in 2000 by Congress’ enactment of the Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000.11 Congress exempted OTC derivatives from regulation because it was concerned that regulation of the market would cause OTC derivatives business to migrate to foreign markets with less regulation causing the U.S. to lose their competitive position. 12 Yet, many have pointed to Congress’ decision in 2000 to exempt such transactions from regulation as a significant factor contributing to the Great Recession of 2008

Congress Went to Denmark, You Got the Bill
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/25/cbsnews_investigates/main6140406.shtml
No the republicans weren't parting all by themselves the Dem's were doing it to.
This is why they actually call it a Political Party, because that's just what politics are, a big party financed on your dime.
Thanks to recently filed Congressional expense reports there's new light shed on the Copenhagen Climate Summit in Denmark and how much it cost taxpayers.
CBS News Investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports official filings and our own investigation show at least 106 people from the House and Senate attended - spouses, a doctor, a protocol expert and even a photographer.
Million Dollar Congressional Trip
Read the Congressional Expense Report
For 15 Democratic and 6 Republican Congressmen, food and rooms for two nights cost $4,406 tax dollars each. That's $2,200 a day - more than most Americans spend on their monthly mortgage payment.
CBS News asked members of Congress and staff about whether they're mindful that it's public tax dollars they're spending. Many said they had never even seen the bills or the expense reports.
Copenhagen Congressional Junket
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., is a key climate change player. He went to Copenhagen last year. Last week, we asked him about the $2,200-a-day bill for room and food.
"I can't believe that," Rep. Waxman said. "I can't believe it, but I don't know."

Senate's Gridlock Fuels Frustration
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704182004575055721489671474.html?mod=WSJ_WSJ_US_News_5
You pay lavish expenses for them to do nothing, and they actually believe that they deserve it to.
The Senate's plodding pace has always distressed those in Washington eager to get things done quickly. Now, with Democrats and Republicans stalemated on everything from major legislation to agency appointments, some are asking whether the institution is broken

Obama endorses deficit task force
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obama-endorses-deficit-task-apf-3690851821.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=1&asset=&ccode=
What a joke!
Why waste the money if you know nothing is going to get done?
This kind of garbage needs to be voted out of office.
You can see they're not fit to decide anything for, let alone run this country.
Notice how nothing gets decided, if anything ever does, until after the election.
It's not only time to audit the FED
It's time to audit the government.
It's impossible for them to do it themselves, and where they keep spending it and sending it has some serious questions as to the merit of it's expense.
President Barack Obama Saturday endorsed a bipartisan plan to name a special task force charged with coming up with a plan to curb the spiraling budget deficit, though the idea has lots of opposition from both his allies and rivals on Capitol Hill.
The bipartisan 18-member panel backed by Obama would study the issue for much of the year and, if 14 members agree, report a deficit reduction blueprint after the November elections that would be voted on before the new Congress convenes next year. The 14 would have to include at least half of the panel's Republicans -- a big obstacle.
[B]The general belief is that the task force idea will fail since many Republicans oppose the plan as a recipe for tax increases, while Democrats worry it'll lead to cuts to Medicare and Social Security benefits. And lots of powerful Democrats say the task force would encroach on their decision-making powers.
Still, some moderate Senate Democrats such as Evan Bayh of Indiana had demanded Obama's endorsement of the deficit panel idea, refusing to commit their votes for the unpopular debt limit measure next week without it.
The task force plan was offered by the top senators on the Budget Committee, Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who see it as the only way for Republicans and Democrats alike to take the leap into the treacherous business of curbing the deficit with politically unpopular tax increases and spending cuts.
Much of the opposition comes from top Democrats such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana, whose toes would be stepped on since the findings of the task force automatically receive a vote in both the House and Senate, eroding their power.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who supported the task before anti-tax activist Grover Norquist came out against the idea, is now strongly opposed. House GOP Leader John Boehner of Ohio appears opposed as well.
