Obama today: Congressional leaders have made progress in their negotiations, and appear close to a deal that would include these principles. President Bush addressed some of these issues last night, and I'm pleased that Senator McCain has decided to embrace them too. Now is a time to come together -- Democrats and Republicans -- in a spirit of cooperation on behalf of the American people. Goddamit. Calls to Congress are rolling in 300 to 1 opposed to raising the debt and handing $700 billion taxpayer dollars to Wall Street. I understand that we hire these people to be smarter and more introspective about these issues than you or I have the time to be, but at 300 to 1 you'd think they'd listen. This is like FISA all over again. Do we really have to vote for either? (Yeah, we kinda do.) Tags: annoyed Current Mood: shrill
