That is too obsene...we should have yelled louder...or maybe, we should have been wiser when we went to the polls. It is sad that we got (collectively) what we wanted. Maybe we should have spent more time teaching our children the constitution and how important our freedoms are to cherish and keep. It certainly has not been taught in the schools.

How am I going to tell them when they are in the hospital that they will not receive treatment because Obama thinks their life is not worth saving...they need to accept that they will have to give up???? Will Obama tell Ted Kennedy his time is up when he will refuse treatment for him? We no longer live in America. When we are all taxed to the point of all businesses going under, is the Congress going to take care of all of America? The false pretense that Obama was elected, when he told everyone that they will be taken care of will ruin the USA. Did you hear the people in Florida ask why they are not getting their homes, car, food, gas paid for yet? He is rewarding those who don't WANT to work. Here's a secret, when the working people are tapped out, no one will be getting anything! Those of us who have worked for 40+ years, saved and tried to do the RIGHT thing are rewarded with a slap in the face. Obama should stay in the WH a few nights and read this bill so he can actually talk to people about what is in it!!! I have an 80 year old mother and a 90 year old mother in law.

Chris Dodd signed 2 mortgages without knowing what they said. This the kind of leadership we voted into office and now we have to live with it. Why should we read it?

The hard working man is far and few between. The "Goodie Bag" that our welfare recipients have been recieving for years are eager to keep the "goodies" coming. However, there is hope in this stimulus bill...with the 'new health care" provision that will be managed by the government. It will help relieve us of all this "dead weight" by not allowing the pork receipiants to further enjoy their pork. They have too many health problems that I am sure the government will not be willing to pay for any longer...only the healthy workers will get the medical help they need...

Reasons for the delay were not given but the decision does follow a morning of debate, where Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) complained that Members were being asked to vote on a bill they had still not seen.
