No I think they will definitely make it wait til wednesday… they are in absolutely NO hurry, they dont depend on it, just the american people do!

Yes I hope it finally passes for my familes sake as well as many many thousands of other families out there.

Hey UnemployedinNY,

Try working! I know…we depend on you to find a job and stop mooching off us taxpayers!

Compassionat Conservatism inaction…

kevininmi you sir are a cunt

Hey KevininMi

First of all stupid it should be MI. Let's see 15 million people and 3 million jobs available. Are you still with me? Or is the math too much for you.

Unemployment rate is high for a reason. There are no jobs!!! He had to work to get unemployment, so he did pay taxes to help many other programs. Why should he not be allowed some help now?

KevininMI – please leave my french fries in a little longer so they become crunchy. Thanks oh and extra ketchup please.

If people like you would stop mooching off the government, then we would not be in this mess to begin with.

GET A JOB!!!

Yeah, keep the sob stories coming. You people remind me of what happened here in Detroit a month ago. People by the thousands showed up to Cobo Center. WJR interviewed these people, and they were in line “to get free Obama Money”

You also remind me of the African-American Woman in Florida wen she said after Obama won “Now I don't have to pay my mortgage”

Stop depending on Government. Government is already too big! If you want to complain about there not being any jobs, get an education, god knows the union thugs don't! No wonder jobs keep on leaving

And you blame Republicans? My god, all Liberals are stupid. No wonder there are no jobs, Obama spending, moochers wanting unemployment, so they don't have to find a job, etc etc.

GET A JOB!!!

And you're Anti-American!

Where is the drive to go get a job by extending unemployment? It promotes laziness, like the labor unions!

They had jobs, you ass. They're looking for work. But too bad six people are competing for every job opening there is. Corporate America sucks.

Get an education…ah, I have a masters, was making a 6 figure income down to $600/week on UI. it's insurance on unemployment for a reason! highest unemployment rate since the depression, hum…does that register? why even post on these websites, what's your point. if people could find jobs the unemployment rate wouldn't be at it's peak. This is a stupid comment!

And who's fault is that? Labor unions and democrats. You voted democrat, so you get what you deserve!

Stop raping my pockets!

wow you really are a fuckin' retard huh. it was okay for me to work since i was 16 and pay taxes for 4yrs, then lose my job due to the free trade act. so now that i need some of the money i paid in back u call that mooching… i am a student depending on unemployment to survive and looking for a job. dont u think if there were jobs out these we'd be workin. so before u make some more whackk comment get off the PC n go do something with urself u loserrrrrrrrr.

that's funny! great response. i like my burgers well done too, please. hehehe!

More proof by your statements that Liberalism is a disease. You just proved my point, depending on government!

Who pays for it, not Obama….THE TAXPAYER!

But I love the way you try to spin it only the way a Liberal can! But as the saying goes, you can't argue facts with a Liberal

Ha! I do…..I own my own business LOSER!

Kevin, you are such an angry little man. Don't worry you can hide behind your white racism, like every good republican. Maybe if you had a brain you too could work for a big scary union. Boo Hoo. Loser now flip my burger.

KevininMi :

Get a life go back to your pedophile porn

ah, unemployment insurance is paid by an employer…hello. one has to work a certain number of hours to even qualify. Hum, let's sterotype you; you probably drive around in a red pick up truck, breed intolerance and belief in the right wing religious nuts out there, also probably believed Bush about WMD's. Get over yourself. If you get laid off, don't collect unemployment. When you retire, don't collect social security or medicare. Make a change by yourself, if that's how you feel about government.

Again, I am a conservative, not a republican! Second, I own my own company in the IT field.

Dems love raping my bank account, and unemployment is the proof. Yes, I believe that if you are on unemployment, then you are the laziest of the lazy!

Liar.

Ah, unemployment insurance is paid for as a tax to employers..one has to work a certain number of hours to even qualify, we pay into it…dumb shit. Let's stereotype you, i'm certain you drive around in a red pick up truck, have very little education, bred intolerance, believe in the nonsense of the fake right wing religious nuts family values (praise the lord..ha!), and also believed Bush about WMD's. If you get laid off, don't collect UI. If you retire, don't collect Social Security and/or medicare. Make a change yourself if you don't want government involved. Otherwise, shut up!

KevininMI does have his own business. Best BJ's in Detroit.

well u better hope the economy doesnt effect your business. and i'm from a loser. my mom who is 51 and worked all her life also worked for the same company as VP or production makin over 250k a year and lost her job also. so is she mooching??? not really cause i'm sure she's paid more in taxes then u've dreamed of. the american people paid taxes all there lifes for this time that they need it. how can u sit here n judge people recieving benefits. oh n btw the goverment is payin for mee to go to school. sooo thanxxx for havin ur business so u can pay for that for meeeeee haha… dumb nigga!!!!!!

<sarcasm>

I love being lazy. I hope they pass this extension so I can continue being lazy and get money by sitting on my ass. I don't want to work but I want money.

</sarcasm>

Seriously though, I don't know what's your beef with this extension, man. These people aren't lazy, they're looking for work. It is way too hard to find work nowadays. I had to resort to plasma to get a few dollars at one point.

no one's lying u want the name of the company??? and they really are paying for my associates. cause i lost my job due to free trade. google it…..

The definition of your business is I T which stands for:
I TAKE it in the ass and mouth.

Here's a link for you to get educated on how UI is paid…maybe you should read this as you apparently have so much time on your hands, being 'employed and all', to come and troll these websites.

http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/ui…

I was working for one of the biggest IT Corporations in the world but my CEO's pillaged us and cashed in on our demise. I have been in the Tech field since the atari 400 and trs-80 was developed. It doesnt matter who you are or what you know but who you blow nowadays no offense intended whatsoever. have some compassion most of here come are here to vent frustration the HR: 3548 bill is on the way to the house now. dont judge someone unless you have been in their position and I commend you on being in the IT field its a field that will be here for along time. My best to you ….

if you had your own business, then you would know how UI is paid!

I posted that on another blog good work.

again, UI is paid by the EMPLOYER, we the employee pay into it…get it, got it, good! Are you stupid?
http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/ui…

KevininMi mooching off taxpayers? Do your homework, taxpayers don't pay for unemployment. But maybe you know that and just like to make an occasional class-less appearance with your mean spirited remarks. Perhaps you should be counseling yourself instead of spouting off here since you definitely appear to be a quart low on empathy.

Thanks! People are so stupid, ignorant..don't even know how UI is paid. I'm a Human Resources Executive so I know percisely how this works, who pays and how UI affects the employer and their UI tax rate.

If we all ignore these ignorant people who have no clue then they will go away… they dont have any life except a centerfold of a woman that they can jag off to…we are here to vent some frustration. but none of our elected officials even read this. but I feel everyone's pain here as I am suffering also, most of us here have probably paid more taxes than they made in income in their whole life. The senate got over one hurdle thus by the Dems giving in to the other amendments. the vote should be tomorrow Tuesday and then to the house and then President Obama should sign it very quickly, then its up to our Department of Labor scholors to understand how it will work….and believe me the DOL are not scholors.

We are getting our educations, unemployment is paying for that as well, hahahaha, suck on that douche!

Ladies and gents, Kevin is obviously another congressional aide whose trying the keep the money in his BIG DADDY'S POCKETS. That or he is one of the most uneducated, ignorant, trash talking should be banned from reproducing probably the victim of inbreeding people ever to be given access to a computer. God Bless Them

As I stated about another blogger it has to be hard to write all these dumb ass comments while mcconnel's dick is in your mouth and kyl is fucking you in the ass. But it will be ok just don't let Hatch in UGHHH. LOL

mitch8her: You're so right. I come here too just to try and read some adult driven, intelligent information about the UI Extension and have never experienced anything like this before; these types of trollers and comments, I was shocked..it's so odd! However, my fault for getting sucked into these 'trollers' and their nonsense. Can't believe I respond. We are all hurting. Yes, I'm certain I've paid more taxes in a year then most of the trollers in a lifetime. Thus, we need to just be patient, this UI extension will pass, it's not only for all of us, but helps boast the economy too. However, it's a reality check, these comments, as to what 'our world' is about these days. The ignorance is simply sad, really! Best of luck to all of us.

If you aren't on UI and you're still commenting on here, you might just be a redneck.

Hey KevininMi why do u hang out on these sites, to jack off on, for somebody who is employed you sure have alot of interest in the unemployed. If you own your own business, why dont you stop being fucking cheap and hire some people to make a change yourself. LOSER

LOL thank you

Couldnt agree more!!

They are just like the CB radio geeks of the 1980's ignore them and they will go away. we are here for a purpose and we are feeling everyone's pain now. The bill will get passed and they will be back to jagging off to a Megan Fox photo spread or a Justin Timberlake spread hey its the new world….I wish everyone here all the best we shall make it.ignore the ignorant

They might be a redneck if they is a comin to some internet blog and posting their garbage? but it only takes them one hand to jack off and the other to play with there mousey…..

Taxpayers sure the hell do pay for unemployment you idiot.

I want to apologize to all of the people wo come here looking for intelligent views on the current state of our economy and government.

I apologize because I allowed the views of a few drive me to speak (write) in a manner that is unbecoming to me and uunfair to you.

I stand behind my less than ladylike remarks but I think I should have chosen a different forum, maybe the WWF, I still believe we have to send a message to the current administration that their actions are unacceptable and how they have treated us Americans has to be accounted for.

Go vote tomorrow, carry signs that express your views on how we have been treated. Try to capture the media attention.

God be with each of you and hopefully by Mid November we may be on the road to recovery.

Keep job searching and try to keep your head up. What I have learned is that we can not be complacent and trust that our elected officials will work in our best interest.

cid – Didn't think I had to clarify it but businesses pay the tax not individuals.

BTW, it's possible to post a reply or an opinion without resorting to name calling.
But then maybe you're a business owner as KevininMi claims and that's your gripe as a taxpayer. The Federal Unemployment extension is going to happen and the business taxpayer will pay for it.

Shame though that people under extreme stress from unemployment and the economy come here looking for news that might give some hope and encouragement but have to weed through the trashing.

cid: seriously, what are you talking about…explain your comment? How do taxpayers pay for Unemployment? Explain this to me, go ahead, we're all listening! UI IS A STATE – FEDERAL TAX PAID BY AN EMPLOYER – differs from state. Each time an employee is laid off, is eligible and collects unemployment the UI tax rate goes up for the employer. That's why employers try hard to find viable 'matched' candidates and do due dilligence in terms of their talent acquisition process. NO, TAXPAYERS do not pay for Unemployment. here's a link, educate yourself and shut the hell up! Get a clue!

KevinMi must live in the “real America” where they starve the “fake America”, by eliminating jobs to fake higher profits, and ship all the jobs to china, and then ridicule “fake America” for being hungry! They call us bums, and moochers, inspite of the fact that we've worked all of our lives, and given a whole lot of hard earned dollars to this country. Why? For not being able to find jobs that don't exist, thanks to decades of artificially inflating the economy, and underhanded corporate and political games that have put the American Dream in a coma? Republican math is responsible for what's happened here, and bad greedy politicians, and big businesses, and banks, who just can NEVER get enough money. The haves always want more, and more is never enough! They pretend things are better than they are in hope of tricking foreign investors into believing the economy is strong, and play all sorts of other games that serve to put on a good show, but the problem is, when things get bad enough, the smokescreen doesn't work anymore! When over a million who were formerly working now starve, and the Republicans pretend that it's over a .26 cent a day tax that employers have been paying for the past 30 yrs, saying that they “object to how it is being funded”, that's a load of bull crap. They are the same party who voted for it, again and again, along side democrats to begin with, so why are they objecting now?

They're throwing a political tantrum because they can't get over the fact that the Dems are finally in charge again, and OMG… with a BLACK MAN? So, now they are doing anything and everything to try and road block progress in the senate on any issue that will help the economy on mainstreet America. Why? If Obama fixes things they screwed up, nobody is going to want to vote Republican! Self serving, personal political agendas gettting in the way of doing what WE PAY them to do, serve the people, and execute our will into laws. If they can stall things for long enough, Obama will lose approval, or so they think it seems. Obama may not be perfect, and I sure wish he'd be tougher in standing up to the good old boys from the GOP, but at least he has empathy, which your ENTIRE PARTY lacks, and a sense of humanity, something they seem to know nothing about! I could care less if his skin is purple, or his middle name is Jeffrey Damer, or anything else, as long as he helps fix things.

I for one, am dang glad that he's our president and not the uncaring, lying, leaving his crippled wife for a 22 yr old, prejudice, hate spreading, war mongering, gold digging, fossil McCain. I wouldn't want those seemingly spoiled out of touch, and generally uncaring and callous individuals who run the GOP in charge for sure! We'd still be waiting on trickle down economics, rofl… ah what a joke! We had an election, you guys lost, get over it!

If you're all really that unsympathetic to your fellow Americans, which your comments of ignorance and hatred demonstrate clearly, then I pray that you get to experience for yourself what those you ridicule have had to suffer through. You need some humbling from God if you ask me! Perhaps a bit of real life experience might give you a clue.

**Brilliant Idea!!:
Start reading those bibles you thump conservatives who blatantly bash your fellow man in need! There are over 300 verses in the Bible explaining what God thinks of the way you're acting, all about what the good Lord thinks of letting your fellow man go hungry! I'm thinking that with that many verses, it must be a pretty important topic to the big man too!

Verses to start you out, since I know that most of you bashers have a hard time with reading and researching facts, proven by the ignorance of the uninformed and flat out incorrect statements you continue to make. Here, let me help you out, WWJD? I tell you what, since I know you guys tend to be self centered, let me just tell you some of what God says about what happens to you for being callous and unkind the way you are toward those less financially well off.

Ezek. 16:49ff. “Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food, and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.”
Is. 10:1-3. “Woe to those who enact evil statutes, and to those who continually record unjust decisions, so as to deprive the needy of justice, and rob the poor of My people of their rights… Now what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the devastation which will come from afar?”

Luke 1:52ff. [Mary's Magnificat.] “He has brought down rulers from their thrones, and has exalted those who were hungry. He has filled the hungry with good things; and sent away the rich empty-handed.”

Ezek. 22:29,31. “The people of the land have practiced oppression and committed robbery, and they have wronged the poor and needy and have oppressed the sojourner without justice… Thus I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; their way I have brought upon their heads,” declares the Lord GOD.

Jer. 5:28f. “[The wicked] do not plead the cause, the cause of the orphan, that they may prosper; and they do not defend the rights of the poor. Shall I not punish these people?” declares the LORD. “On such a nation as this, shall I not avenge myself?”

James 5:1-6. Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. …Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and with you have withheld, cries out against you; and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Luke 6:24. “But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.”

Luke 16:19-25. “Now there was a certain rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, gaily living in splendor every day. And a certain poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs would come and lick his sores.
Now it came about that the poor man died and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. And in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue; for I am in agony in this flame.'
But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony…'”

A few more helpful verses:

Prov. 29:7. The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such concern.
1 John 3:17. But whoever has the world's goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

Mt. 6:24. “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.”

1 Tim. 6:10. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang.

Prov. 19:17. He who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, and He will repay him for his good deed.

Prov. 14:31. He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

Mt. 25:31-46. “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left.
Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'
Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite you in, or naked, and clothe You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'
Then they themselves will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'
Then He will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Like I said, there are over 300, read up, stop pretending to play Christians, advocating prayer in schools, and the like, all while LIVING opposite of God's teachings!

And, for those who sling socialism like it's a dirty word, read this:

Acts 2:44. All those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they began to sell their property and possessions, and share them with all, as anyone might have need.

Acts 4:32-35. And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them. And with great power the apostles were giving witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles' feet; and they would be distributed to each, as any had need.

I guess Jesus was a lazy hippie socialist liberal? Or maybe a communist? No, he was a HUMANIST! He loved people, and was pure and righteous. Claiming to be a Christian is supposed to mean that you EMULATE the behavior of Jesus, that you do your best to be “Christ like”, as it is asked of you in the bible, you think you can just dunk your body in a bit of water, listen to a few sermons, and God will forgive a lifetime of hurting and belittling your fellow man?

Educate yourselves, before you meet your king, and have to answer why you treated your brother in a way that goes against the Bible, while professing to be Christians. You use GOD as the center of your party, but your behaviors seem to say that you don't know him. God is a god of love, a God of mercy, a god of the helpless, the afflicted, the needy, and yes, even of the poor, whom you PERSECUTE wrongly!

The rest, you'll have to look up, hundreds are too many to post!

May you reap what you sew.

As for the GOP, they should change the name of the party to the Fat Cats and instead of the elephant the mascott should the the almighty dollar! That's what they love, and they choose dollars for themselves and their rich fat cat buddies over helping good hard workign American tax paying people, everyday!

It makes me ill to watch them live on C-Span perpetrating!

A man cannot serve two masters, you can't serve both God and money, and guess which one they're picking? Thus the rich man getting into heaven is as likely as a camel passing through the eye of a needle… something to consider.

That is very well put. I hope they here you. I can not believe they left us hang for so long, And there was no need for that. And now they don't want to make this bill retroactive, They only want to pay this going forward. How will some of us ever get caught up. Just paying on current weeks will not help keep a lot of peoples rent cought up or past power and light bills paid or vehicles out of reposation.. Its discusting how this goverment treats the very people that give them what they have. They don't even have a heart with the holidays comming so soon. “TIME FOR A REVOLT” Now I here they even want to take our tax dollars away from us who deserve it, and who earned it and pay the Taliban ( a known enemy of the United States ) millions of dollars after killing our soilders. The soilders who fell in battle, were on a payroll too, and payed taxes as well. I think they would turn over in their graves to know that the very tax dollars they paid in is goining to the very people who took their lives. That is the worst thing of all. After a move like this, can this goverment really get any lower ? “TIME FOR A REVOLT” We are at war with these animals,( Taliban) what the hell is this goverment thinking ? This just makes me sick. What the hell are we fighting for anyway ? Wake up america, rise up against this goverment take america back before it is to late. ” TIME FOR A REVOLT” It is time to protect our childern, fallin soilders, and ourselves from this goverment. It is not for we the people anymore. The damn writting is on the wall for those who can read. RISE UP PEOPLE THE TIME IS NOW>

The Bill be passed

Thank you. Is it retroactive or they just paying going forward. This is very importent, as a lot of people need to dig themselves out of a hole that they created with all these stalls and delays..

Thank you , you say it like it is. Your input is worth reading. : )

It starts when the bill is signed into law for those who exhuasted or about to exhaust benefits.

WHAT REALLY PISSES THE TROLLS OFF THEY KNOW THE VOTE WILL BE PASSED, IGNORE THEM AND THEY WILL GO ELSEWHERE

I sure hope the bill passes today. Wait, 30 hours from Mondays cloture vote is 11:30pm Tuesday nite. Do you think they will stay in session that long? Wait again, the Senate schedule says they are out of session Wed Thurs and Fri of this week. Does that mean the vote won't be untill next week? Wait again again, Does anyone think the House will pass the Tarp amendment? How long will a comprimise between the two branches take if it dosn't? Oh, don't forget about the week congress is off this month for Thanksgiving. Does anyone think a march on capitol hill is in order?

a march on capital hill sounds like what these A holes need… they are out of office after today until monday Nov. 9th, this wont be passed and made into action until after Thanksgiving is my bet! :(

If they want to keep their precious senate seat they will, but remember they ar not there all day only when they have to be. watch the Dems on CSPAN2 there is no one seated behind them because the Reppubs are porking their illegal alien 15 yrs old secretaries. I hope the House passes it or it will be back to SQUAREONE. But an 85-2 cloture vote is a good sign it will pass the HOUSE…I hope we will all survive, today is election day where I live the only thing to vote on is a penny sales tax increase and I can find a penny on the ground where ever I walk, thank the lord I can still walk to the polls in 2010.

MI Gov. says if it's passed this week first benefit checks will be paid by mid-Dec.

You are correct it will take weeks to come through. if it does get passed

This is just simply sad,,with all these delays people are getting farther,and farther into the Abyss.Remember this is far from a done deal

“It's 30 “working” hours (like they work, lol). So between the senate and house, that's a minimum of 60 working hours, or 7 1/2 working days, which means at the earliest it could pass is next Thursday the 12th, in the afternoon. Assuming the house passes it, it will probably get to the president for signing on Friday. Then, it has to be approved by the House appropriations committee, which incidentally, is not set to reconvene until the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which is Dec. 1. Assuming approval, funds must be dispersed to each state, which should be completed at least by the end of that week no problem. After notices are mailed out, and other necessary “paperwork”, I'm thinking the soonest anyone will see a check is Monday Dec. 7.

hope this clarifies some for people wondering

god bless all

George I may be able to buy some more soap somewhere around…. Christmas?? Of course the homeless shelter will probably be able to help me a little.

If this bill is passed this week could anyone tell me when we could realistically expect a benefit payment, trying to give my landlord real data, do not want to tell him Novemer when it may be December. I azm praying when I get to landlord tenant court I can give him a payment so I am not evicted but if not at least a date when I can make payments. I guess i should feel lucky I only owe for October and November anf half of September.

I went to the polls with my sign, of course no news coverage at my polling place. LOL but a few people did ask me about the status of UI extension and offered me words of encouragement. Thank you.

Well back to my job search funny the transit system in my area went on strike this morning. LOL

Oh, I just read that Obama leaves for Aisa on the 11th. Gone 9 days. I think he comes back to Congress on vacation. Guess I'm gona find out what dirt soup tastes like.

Doesnt the pressing matters in the USA mean more to him than asia?

Johnson & Johnson to lay off 7,000,but the “recession is over” what a joke

god bless all

Thank you Mr. Republican and, thank you Mr. Democrat and, thank you Mr. President for leading us to No home, No food. No money and we shall forget about Christmas.

We are the people who voted you into your beautiful office.

So don’t shed a tear and don’t worry about us.

We are the people who made this country what it is, and we are the people who cannot believe this.

My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

But as you see it, it doesn’t mean a thing.

Until election day

GOD HELP US ALL :(

I Just found this schedule for the Senate on the Washington Post website:

Convenes: 10:00am
Recess from 10:15am until 11:30am to allow for a Joint Meeting of Congress.
At 10:30am, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will address a Joint Meeting of Congress. Senators are encouraged to gather in the Senate Chamber at 10:00am so that senators may proceed as a body to the Hall of the House at 10:15am.

Following the Joint Meeting, the Senate will resume consideration of H.R.3548, Unemployment Benefits Extension Act of 2009, post-cloture.

The Senate will recess from 12:30pm until 2:115pm to allow for the weekly caucus luncheons.

WOW A LUNCHEON, THEY PROBABLY HAVE FRESH ROLLS WITH BUTTER AND FRESH SALAD AND MEAT AND VEGETABLES UMMMM, I WOULD LOVE TO BE THERE. HUNGER PAINS THINKING ABOUT IT

BOY OH BOY I AM PISSED ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

Why is it democrats are discussing ui but *R* are discussing healthcare? I thought they were suppose to be discussing unemployment.

But will they vote this week?

Because thats the Presidents baby (HEALTHCARE)

Is this tomorrows schedule??

NOT looking that way the senates schedule looks empty for the rest of the week and it says they are out of the office wed-fri, so not sure, sorry :(

If you still have cable turn on CSAPN2

Toilet won't flush, need a plunger. Dems are so full of s^&* they should have them coming out their rear. I'd like one that has a long handle and a big red bell that says democrat on it. What does 30 hours plus 30 hours plus 30 plus 30 hours equal. Ahhhhh, geeee, ooops, time for Springer.
