I think it's haggling. This is what I want, no you cant have that but you can have some of this, let's trim some of that over there, etc.

america, you voted in a new president. a man who had little time as a politician. its now time to vote for a new congress, with less than say 6years in congress. Im fed up with all the "thinkers" that we have now. If every person that has a mortgage on a home was given this money it would be 17,000 tell me we could'nt use the monet better than the big boys stop the bs pork, dont let any money go to any big business.

He has nothing (at this point) to be ashamed of.

Huh? The guy has been down there meddling with house members since he was elected plus inviting them up to his digs for "bipartisan" parties. He is up to his hips in the pork.

He can meddle all he wants.....invite them to tea, shoot pool and jabber a lot, but it is still up to them, to create the bills and laws.
