Obama is not elected yet but the plan for more spending has already started.

After consulting with Barack Obama, Democratic leaders are likely to call Congress back to work after the election in hopes of passing legislation that would include extended jobless benefits, money for food stamps and possibly a tax rebate, officials said Saturday.

The bill's total cost could reach $150 billion, these officials said.


That said $150 billion in government spending seems cheap considering the last few months of the Bush administration.

I doubt spending will be a problem for the McCain administration which is why I'm voting McCain.

I don't like this Obama proposition, but consider McCain on Iraq:

123+ billion every year, that's been going on, and will go on year after year.

Iraq trumps almost anything Obama can come up with in terms of spending.

Oh? So where will McCain get the $300 billion needed for his mortgage buy back program that he announced at the Town Hall Debate last week to the utter dismay of his conservative base?

...But isn't he still a member of Congress? Isn't it the power of Congress to enact laws?

Come on guy's keep up.

If your going to dig up meaningless trash, get the juicy stuff like..........

ARLINGTON, Va. - Republican John McCain vowed Sunday to "whip" Democratic rival Barack Obama's
"you-know-what" when the two presidential candidates meet Wednesday in their final televised debate.

McCain made that pledge as top advisers said he is weighing new economic proposals to help
the nation weather the financial crisis. The Arizona senator refused to answer a reporter's question
Sunday about what plans he might be considering.

I think the difference is that McCain is trying to help correct a bad mortgage problem (caused by Democrats in the first place, thanks Bill) and Barack is looking to give more handouts such as the welfare and unemployment benefits which are already more than sufficient.

Almost sounds like a quote from Jesse Jackson

Maybe;

While i deplore violence
i do feel the need to show up
for this school yard fight......

Usually this kind of altercation
starts with somebody talkin about
somebody else's mama.......

I expect McCain's gonna knock
a chip off Oboma's shoulder,
what happens next is anybody's
guess..... Let the dust fly.....
