Yes, we can! What the heck. It's free for all Friday.
Obama voting against Obama.
The republicans in the senate yesterday introduced an $1.4 trillion 'obama spend-o-rama' amendment which totaled all the campaign pork that the obamanator has proposed during the last 5 years, and then forced a vote on it. Final tally: 97-0. Even the obamanator voted against his own pork.
Near the end of the allotted time, Mr. Obama, who had been in an office just off the Senate floor conferring with a group of senators who back his presidential bid, strode to the floor with those supporters and all of them voted no.Who says politics can't be fun?
The Illinois senator looked over the chamber and demanded to know who orchestrated the stunt. Spotting Mr. (Wayne) Allard (the Colorado Republican who engineered the amendment), he yelled to him, "You working this hard?" "Vote yes," Mr. Allard shot back — though even he didn't vote for the amendment himself, drawing a rebuke from Sen. Barbara Boxer, California Democrat: "Did you vote against your own amendment?"
