No. And I just listened to it again. It's very muffled at the end, but it sounds like she's saying "Obama is going to help me".

They sure are! They just helped throw the dems out of power in the House, give more leverage to the GOP in the Senate, won about 9 more Governorships and completely crushed the dems in state legislatures.

Not my house member, state's senator (the loser was backed by the TP, not my gov (both his opponents had TP support, including a last minute endorsement by SP herself), nor my state legislature.

Again, if Congress doesn't allocate spending for the bill.. Its dead.. You need capital to move the bill forward...
