lets keep our fingers crossed

In a move clearly designed to embarrass the House, the Senate is going to take up their vote on the bailout package tomorrow. Of course members of the house don't think thats fair because, if anything it takes away some of their spotlight. A spotlight that shines on representatives, like those from Michigan who voted 12-0 to bailout the automakers of Detroit then voted 11-1 not to allow credit bailout to flow money back into the dried out credit markets so that people can buy those cars. One congressman while being interviewed on PBS' News Hour stated that he did not want to simply give Hank Paulson 700 billion in tax dollars without any congressional over sight to go with it. The first thought that came into my mind, and i do have a mind, was is this guy kidding! Doesn't he read the papers, watch News Hour! Doesn't he realize that there is NO TIME TO DEBATE! The money has to get to the patient stat. Thank God I'm not drowning and he's holding the rope I would have to wait for him to set ground rules on how I can use the rope. Does he think that Paulson has a wife that demands he throw her a toga birthday party and use the 700 billion to do it. Only a democrat can come up with this type of thinking. Now for you Republicans, on that same show a republican from the great state of Michigan stated that he wanted to see if there was a better way to do this. to try and at least save some of the taxpayers money. A noble thought but a very rapidly mute one. Once again THERE IS NO TIME!!!!!! You need to act the way you did to save the automakers the way you worked together democrats and republicans to march off to war in Iraq based upon the thought that Saddam had WMDs. You know there is a very wise comedian named Lewis Black who said that Democrats are the party of no ideas while the Republicans are the party that can screw them up. I hope the last laugh is not on US
