the Federal Gov't. 101 cramming isn't going to well
by jdunne

""""""""""""""""""Sarah Palin likes to tell voters around the country about how she "put the government checkbook online" in Alaska. On Thursday, Palin suggested she would take that same proposal to Washington. """""""""""""""""

In 2006 and 2007,""""""""""""""""""""""" Obama teamed up with Republican Sen. Tom Coburn to pass the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, also known as "Google for Government." The act created a free, searchable web site -- USASpending.gov -- that discloses to the public all federal grants, contracts, loans and insurance payments.""""""""""""""""""

In June of this year, """"""""""""""""""""""Obama and Coburn introduced new Senate legislation to expand the information available online to include details on earmarks, competitive bidding, criminal activities, audit disputes and other government information."""""""""""""""""

According to wanna be Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, one of Obama's ideas from 2006 qualifies as one of the "new things" she'll do in 2009.

Wish Obama supported the constitution. He thinks the feds have unlimited power. He thinks the feds job is to take care of us.

Sarah Palin supported the 1998 Alaska constitutional amendment banning marriage equality.

Let's see, first Bush and his republican congress remove long standing regulations from the financial sector,, result-the banks fail five years later. Then as business follows the banks lead Bush shreds the constitution by giving his appointed fed chairman the power that according to that constitution resides in congress. The fed chairman can now make loans to any institution he wants using your money, he can also borrow money in order to do so. Yet only Congress can control the national treasury and the national credit. Seems the GOP wants a facist government where the president and his staff have ALL the power.

Amazing how you want to claim Obama who as Mr. Dunne just stated wants to give you and me more insight into our government and more of a voice-is trying to put more power in the hands of the government?

You need to finish your primer bud.

He thinks the feds job is to take care of us.

How silly can he be? we all know the feds job is to protect big business and the military industrial complex, to make sure we never learn the real story and to keep those damn fags from marrying.

That is why I consider Mr. Bush to be the second worst president in our history. I think Obama may turn out worst than LBJ.

"How silly can he be? we all know the feds job is to protect big business and the military industrial complex, to make sure we never learn the real story and to keep those damn fags from marrying." You point out the real problem. Both major parties love power more than the people or the constitution. Partisans on both sides sit back and cheer as the fed monster grows. Vote for the third party of your choice.
