I am sure there is 1.74 million $ earmarked for this “re-payment.” Since no one read the 1100 page document, I am sure will find this out around 2011 sometime.

I just watched a news story about George Bush visiting the hardware store that offered him a job. He is a real person who cares about people. I would even go so far as to say all of his campaign debts are paid. The O hole on the other hand cares about no one but himself and his HARD left wing socialist ideology. Chicago can just kiss that money goodbye although I am sure they will benefit greatly from the porkulus bill. Why would any body want to work for this tool. Cross him and he will hang you out to dry or worse just hang you.

Hey look closely at the list of bills submitted – there is also one to put term limits on Congress (the House I think, maybe both).

If you read it – there are many, many compeating bills (see also rabid gun control vs a more sane (and Constitutional approach) -so it would appear that the foaming at the mouth leftists are attempting to shred the Constitution while what few sane Repubs are attempting to at least rein them in – if not control them.

This type of rabid partisan ‘legislation’ is what gets American government into trouble and basically screws the citizen every time.

This is going to be a very long 111th Congress and Administration. 1427 days left and counting down.

Stacie Paxton, a spokeswoman for the Obama-controlled DNC, explained the reimbursement delay by saying, “We are still looking at various costs and bills.” She would not say whether parts of the bill are disputed.

So, the DNC wants to look at the bill carefully before agreeing to it, but they want to ram through a stimulus bill, and not dispute any of it? (SIGH)

Maybe Obama will do a “Hillary,” and not pay the bill.

He’s a Democrat, you know. They don’t pay their bills; they get the “little people” to do it.

I thought Oprah said she would paid the bill. I may be wrong. FoxGreta had B. Clinton on her show last night and she mentioned at least 4 AirForce needless trip. Not counting this valentine trip to dine in Chicago. B Clinton sacastically defended the trips with redicualous retorical questions, after all look at Hillary Clinton’s worthless trips. Greta looked stunned and scared. And I don’t think it was because she was sitting close to a former repeatedly accused sex offender sitting across from her. B. Clinton also, answered, he would have done “exactly” as Obama on the stimulous bill. Then Bill got down to what his main purpose for appearing on the show, performing an ollah Obama act, and whined how his mother, which he accented was even a nurse, overfed him til he was 2 years old, which led to his overweight problem, but forgot about all his youthful pictures growing up, when he wasn’t overweight. Neither would he confirm his hospitalization and weight loss was do to a heart problem. Could it be his move to Harlem, was behind both. Arkansas won’t let him import anymore.

sheehanjihad, I tend to agree. I apologize in advance for reposting something from another thread—but Rush all but said today what I suggested this morning—-the thug messiah is actually TRYING to tank the markets…revolution is in the air…from this morning:

I’ve a hunch, the MARKET is going to force the thug messiah’s hand. Economics is a pretty reliable indicator of sentiment (looking to the future, not the past); the CNBC bubba touched a nerve…but even the thug messiah’s spin machine can’t ignore this evaporation of wealth. When the gov’t money gets into the economy, there will probably be a bump (conventional wisdom)—-but what if the sentiment seen in Chicago yesterday pervades the market. Gold hit $1000 today, and the equity markets are only as good as the equities. With all the doom and gloom—and gov’t meddling, a level of risk has been introduced (and there’s plenty of doubt about TCO’s intentions/abilities) which may drive people to put their wealth in less risky situations.
Some on this site have suggested a conspiracy among Soros and Co—what if the goal is to drive wealth into gold/precious metals—and then doing like FDR—making ownership illegal?—admittedly a stretch, but the behavior of TCO would lead a reasonable person to conclude he is an enemy of the market.

Dont sweat it. They are attempting to seize the government they already own. I have a sneaking suspicion that being a democrat wont exactly have bragging rights in a lot less than four years. If they succeed in repealing the 22nd amendment…that leaves a lot of voting room for the next candidate, and that candidate wont necessarily be a republican OR a democrat. America is fed up. Obama will not be able to continue like this for long without serious repercussions from the public at large. There are a lot more people who are being hurt by his spending than are being helped, and no amount of Acorn style support will help him this time. Once the citizens openly revolt and refuse to “go along with it”, all of that weak gimme gimme crowd will have to stay in hiding. They are living in a target rich environment as it is.

I count on there being enough sane states (red states if you must …) that would not agree to this.

The ERA went down in flames and I’d hope this hairbrained idea would.

Has anyone else seen this?

Rep. José Serrano [D, NY-16] is proposing the repeal of the 22nd Amendment (term limits on the president):

The leftists are truly attempting to seize the government.

Soros ran out of checks, but he has more on order, the bill will be paid then.

Don’t worry – this bill will be paid many times over by the stimulus bill. A good chunk of the stimulus bill is being doled out to mayors for their pet projects. The honorable Mayor Daley refuses to release his list of pork because he knows it stinks worse than the Chicago stockyards.

You’d think, I mean he had to pay homage to his Chicago bosses while he was running for Senate and President, but now that he’s won, you’d think he’s a little higher on the food chain.
However, maybe he oughta pay up, you never know what might happen. I mean Burris remembered a few things here lately, Obama doesn’t want other people back home to start remembering things.

Ahh it’s refreshing how there’s always an angle, good old Mayor Daley getting a little piece of the Obama campaign pie by billing for nearly 2 million in city expenses for the victory party. One guy got $20,000 in what, overtime, for that night alone? I wonder how much that guy will be passing back to the Mayor in some quasi-legal way, perhaps hosting a party at his house? If the mayor can get this 2 million bucks and keep from having to ask for union concessions, how much will the union contribute to the mayor’s re-election campaign? Ahh, it just goes on forever.
Yes, we can.
