Change? Try 'Business as Usual"
Despite Obama's pledge to bring "change" to Washington, and despite his promise to have a pork-free stimulus plan, the Democrats today rammed through a pork-stuffed bill through the Senate without extended debate or amendments (on a Sunday, no less). That leaves us wondering if Obama will veto it when it reaches his desk.
And yes, most of the Senate Republicans went along with it. The following twelve Senators were the only Republicans who voted against it. The rest supported the bill or were absent. Here's the complete vote tally: 66-12.
Brownback (KS)
Coburn (OK)
Corker (TN)
DeMint (SC)
Grassley (IA)
Inhofe (OK)
Isakson (GA)
Johanns (NE) - great first vote for the freshman!
McCain (AZ)
Sessions (AL)
Shelby (AL)
Thune (SD)
