The plan they are voting on is nothing like either of these. It really
isn't a plan at all. The fact that Obama wants it passed, with the
admission that they will tweak it later, ****es me off. This is
unprecedented. He's on some personal time frame and doesn't seem to
really care what the meat of the plan is.



I feel the same way. I've been watching interviews with some of the
Congress members who are on the fence regarding their vote on Sunday. Most
are still seeking specific definitions of certain details of "the plan".

It has been debated for a year and they still aren't sure what they are
voting for?

In the end it will pass due to an enormous amount of arm twisting and
backroom deals. Heh. One member of Congress was calling this bill "the
most transparent" proposal (to the public) that he had ever witnessed in his
40 years of elected office. But when pressed for specific answers, he still
wasn't sure exactly what some parts of the bill were, what the language
meant or what the ramifications would be.

But, he's leaning towards a "Yes".
