Obama and McCain can say whatever they want, but if the Congress isn't in the mood it doesn't matter. More and more the POTUS is becoming just figurehead, like the Queen of England - technically they're in charge but the power remains with the representatives. Forget about the presidential race for a day or two and do some homework on who your Senators and Representatives are. They're the ones wiht the power.<BR/><BR/>Article I Section I of the USConstitution: "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." <BR/>It's this article that places the power of the government primarily in Congress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84974121806093861022008-09-25T13:54:00.000-04:002008-09-25T13:54:00.000-04:00I agree.

And if so, why weren't we spending it in health care?<BR/><BR/>Because that would be socialism. But the government owning a 70% stake in the nation's largest insurance company... apparently that's just fine.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178975866741187681noreply@blogger.com
