Now Senate 'leader' (with a small 'l') Dingy Harry Reid is flummoxed because the President and the House refuse to let him and his cronies tack on a mere $45, 000,000,000 of your tax dollars more for their pet projects.... From Townhall:
Reid Plans to Stall Budget Process Until Bush Leaves Office
By Amanda CarpenterTuesday, February 5, 2008
While most national media is focused on today’s Super Tuesday action, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is raging against the Bush administration back in Washington.
“The Bush Administration is Orwellian. Orwellian,” Reid ranted Tuesday morning on the Senate floor.
“The American people know how disingenuous [this administration] has been,” he said. “What has taken place here in the Senate floor today [is] keeping with this – the Bush Situation….

Reid’s anger was focused on the GOP opposition to the add-ons Democrats put on a $159 billion economic stimulus package designed to stave off a recession. The Senate plan is estimated to cost $204 billion and includes extra unemployment benefits, energy subsidies and mortgage assistance. [.....]

If you'll take a minute and re-read Reid's rants, I reckon you gonna have the same wonderment that I have... have a few bricks fallen out of his attic? When one thinks of the soaring rhetoric of the Senate in the past two hundred years, liberal or conservative - this flailing about makes even our Texas Presidents, both Bush and LBJ sound like world class orators! Even scarier..... a majority of the Dem senators elected him to this high office!
