i would like to thank hillary and barack for not voting...
they had the wisdom to not vote on a bill that did`t include the unemployed,the cold,and senior citizens....

"Sen. Clinton voted for the earlier Senate bill, as did presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.)....
Yesterday, Sen. McCain was one of those voting for the new Senate bill. Sens. Clinton and Obama didn't vote."


"The new Senate bill disappointed many Democrats in that chamber, who had tried unsuccessfully to pick up enough Republican votes for a more-expansive package that would have extended unemployment-insurance benefits, boosted funding for home-heating subsidies for the poor, and supplied $500 checks to millions of Social Security recipient"
