barry’s gold panel came up with cuts yet no budget on due date Oct. 1, 2010 when Democrats owned Congress and White House. We have Ryan Pan what do Democrats have ? Want a BIG FAT LAUGH and call obama's 2011 budget YOUR PLAN. No cuts in savings there. Additional $$$ 9.5 over time according to CBO.
So CRY we are spending time guarding individual Right Of Choice. Gives Democrats more time to meet the late, late, late, late due date of Oct.2, 2010.
We own one House and you all own Senate & WH. Where is your plan, as you might say, as we play in the sand box ? You all did not play in the the sand box when Democrats had full control? Did ya ? Democrats got bad polls for what they passed and a whole lot of empty Democrat seats after election.
So liberals don't like Freedom of Choice for light bulbs. If it has merit, folks will flock to it. Thats American way of doing things. If government did not like smoking, they would outlaw !!! Why are you not crying about Democrats on hill still doing nothing. Waiting to complain about what Republicans come up with.
Wait & see Democrats. They got stung passing all that legislation voters didn't want. They're not wanting to repeat same mistake twice.

obama's speeches, poor guy, can't believe a word coming out of his mouth:
“We are not Greece”, as he said. Had barry had his way, his 2011 budget plan would add $$$ 9.5 new debt over time according to CBO. At that rate how soon do we have Greece’s 120% of GDP ?
barry had the testicles to say we did not PAY FOR Bush's prescription plan or wars. My questions to you brad:
1. What Democrat controlled Congress and WH passed PAY AS YOU GO ?
2. DID DEMOCRAT controlled Congress & WH in truth pay for extensions for unemployment, obamacare ( check CBO findings), and WARS ?
3. Senator barry supported OIL WELFARE. Instead of his normal "present" vote, he voted for OIL WELFARE. In recent speech he is against. Which is the REAL barry.
4. barry is against private jet welfare now. President barry gave in his stimulus bill. Which is the REAL barry.
5. barry is against raising taxes in bad economics time, but for now with rising unemployment is for. Which is the REAL barry.
6. Should I bring up the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT and the results of WH e-mails concerning Fox. Am sure that will be your next article

it seems that wasting their time debating a light bulb bill is more of a priority, for the inept republican led house than say,doing a jobs bill.
it does show one thing for sure,that there are a lot of dim bulbs in the house of representatives

The author acts as if the Republicans haven't put forth 2 plans on the debt ceiling, and acts as if the Democrats have actually put forth any plan (which they haven't.)
Also on a little side note my brother works for a hotel maintenance company and said when they switched light bulbs 1 year ago to the new kind, they have already had to replace 70% of them, plus guest complain that the light quality is poorer. So I'm not 100% sold on the effectiveness of the new light bulbs.
