Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he's obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson's brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Or was this part of the Paygo Law Bunning was fighting?
 
A_J, you stupid neo-con asswipe idiot, Democrat Lawyers are as pure as the driven Snowe, take Obama, for example...

A federal grand jury is set to indict two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, the National Enquirer reported Wednesday.

Edwards, who admitted in February to fathering a child with former campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, has been under investigation by the feds for possible improper use of campaign funds.

The Enquirer, which first reported Edwards' extramarital affair in 2007, sources an unidentified "insider," who claims an indictment is imminent.

The Presidential Limo can be the next vehicle to smush a Clinton doggy.

Why would Obama go get a dog when we know they're bad for the environment?


Why does Obama hate Science?

Why does he keep smoking, drinking, and eating bad food?
 
It is Washington.

What do you expect?

The parties aren't the same without the Saudi Royal Family.

They bring the funk not to mention the stylish cheek-kissing. There's not enough cheek-kissing in America.
 
Dogs are man's best friend. Friends are few and far between in Washington.

He was educated in Kansas.

The dog has been a bad influence on him.

*snicker*

Obama got it on GOOD advice...

And the Jews, don't forget the Jews and the fact that they OWN Washington...

It's America... You need to be an equal-opportunity bigot.
 
Apparently, this Republican leader took the Washington parties home! Why go without?

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s perk costs taxpayers $1 million
Hastert’s aides and allies benefit from archive fund

Chicago Tribune
February 17, 2010

Former House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (Republican) has plowed through about $1 million in taxpayer dollars in the last two years for an office and staff in west suburban Yorkville, thanks to a little-known perk given to ex-speakers.

Hastert, 68, a lobbyist and business consultant who retired from Congress in 2007, has hired three of his former staffers at salaries of more than $100,000 apiece to run the publicly financed office.

...

Hastert represented Illinois in the House of Representatives for almost 21 years and was speaker for eight years. When Democrats regained the majority after the 2006 elections, Hastert lost the top spot.
...

As a House member, Hastert declared himself a foe of government waste. In 2005, he boasted of winning a "Golden Bulldog" award from the "Watchdogs of the Treasury" each year he was in Congress.
