two quick things

oprah Winfrey:I've seen recent pics of you,you have been anywhere near a treadmill,let alone get knocked of one.because "hot rod" considered you for obama's vacant seat.

Obama and the dems own both houses.they own it all.they do not need one single republican vote to pass their "stimulus bill".my question why is Obama shmoozing it up with republicans to get them to go along with it?.

Obama has never been accused of being stupid,because he's not.it is said "those who don't learn from history,are doomed to repeat it".Obama,being the smart guy that he is.knows that the last time democrats ran an economic plan without a single republican vote was back in 93'.Clinton did it.the very next year republicans won back the "house of reps" after 40 years of democrat rule.Obama knows his plan will fail in doing what he says it is supposed to do.when it fails he wants some of the blame put on republicans,something Clinton or the dems could not do.they owned it.what this bill is truly intended for is keeping democrat rule for another long period of time.if this bill is soooo great,and would do everything it is purposed to do,why share any of the glory with the republicans?.one would think that having success on such a grand level,should bring about the death of the republican party.so...why does Obama want republicans in on this plan again?...
