Those who accused President Barack Obama of soliticing donations
towards Haiti, but only contributing next to nothing, are now proven
wrong.

``WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama has announced which
groups will get the $1.4 million he received for winning the Nobel
Peace Prize.

Obama said Thursday that $250,000 will go to Fisher House, a national
nonprofit that houses families whose loved ones are receiving care at
Veterans Administration medical centers. He will give another $200,000
to the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund to help the country recover from the
earthquake.

The balance will go to an array of other groups including education
foundations, scholarship funds and regional development groups in
Africa and Central Asia.''

Obama's quite generous with other peoples money.

And whose money do you think it is, Roger?


The problem I have with Obama is he is trying to cram his health care
down our throats. His bill doesn't have the votes to do it according to
the constitutions so he is trying to overthrow the constitution for his
health care bill so he can send money to Planned parrenthood.

Which consistitution are you reading? The constitution of Berzerkistan?

This isn't you by any chance, is it? g

Imagine a bill that is so significant that it is 20% of the US economy
but the Democrats want the pass it without a vote, since they don't have
enough votes to pass it the constitutional method.

Wrong constitution, Roger. It's only about 4,500 words, not counting the
Amendments. You should stop and read it some time.

We have a constitutional process for things like the health care bill.
They don't have the votes and are trying to cram it through other ways.

They only need 51 votes in the Senate, Roger. They have more than that, and
more than are needed in the House.

This has nothing to do with the Constitution. This is all about Senate
rules, which have frequently been changed. The relevant one, concerning
cloture, was changed in 1975. In 2009, Republicans set a new record of
invoking it over 100 times.

It's a way for the minority to subvert the will of the majority, and the
Founders probably are rolling over in their graves that such a thing was
ever put in place.

You're an honest guy, Roger, so I'm going to do you a favor here and, rather
than explain it all, suggest that you (1) actually read the Constitution, so
you don't sound like one of these idiots who keep yelling about "getting
back to the Constitution as it was written," when they really have little
idea about what's in it; then (2) read about "cloture" and "filibuster."
Wikipedia will do.

To me, there are few things sadder than sincere people who get twisted
around the little finger of media pundits because they don't really know
what's in the Constitution, or how Congress works.
