What frustrates me is that President Obama keeps talking about bipartisanship, but then makes a hard left turn and essentially states "Bipartisanship mean just do what we tell you to". He talks about what the American people call for, yet ignores the massive and growing public opposition to this bill, and then tries to scare them to death by threatening them with a depression if we don't rush in a spending bill (he called it as much)

To me, he has betrayed his campaign promises and its only week 3.
So much for change.

Lindsay Graham is my hero of the week. I tried to find his whole speech from the senate floor, but this clipped version was the best I could find. The part they skipped that I would include is when he said he WANTED to spend to help stimulate the economy, but that this was not the right kind of spending.
