This one is coming strait from the newspaper."President Obama took aim at the Republican lawmakers Monday, accusing them of holding the public hostage to Washington politics by blocking extended unemployment benefits for millions of out-of -work Americans." Ya Obama kick some sense into them! Here's more of it, " 'It's time to do whats right, not for the next election, but for the middle class,' Obama said"
"Lawmakers have battled for Weeks about legislation extending unemployment benefits of workers who have been out of a job for long stretches. The last such extension expired at the end of May, leaving 2.5 million people without benefits, with hundreds of thousands more losing benefits each week." Wow, I sure hope it'll be millions less next year. "The Senate is set to take up the measure again today, immediately after the swearing in of a replacement for the late Senator Robert Byrd. Filling that seat will give Democrats the 60 votes they need to block a Republican filibuster." Once again, Wow.
