*Hillary wants to debate Obama before the Wisconsin primary next tuesday only to have Obama to rebuke the gesture saying they have had enough debates. He has hit the airwaves in the state critizing this. Since Obama is in the lead and has the momentum there is no reason to debate Hillary at this time. If the tables were turned in Hillary's favor, should she still want a debate? I don't think so.
*Well congress finally passed the stimulus package, which is a nice gesture especially from a congress and a president with awfully low approval ratings on top of a weak economy (hey recessions are cyclical every 8-10 years, this one is a little quicker in coming because of irresponsibilty of mortage companies, they should get everything they deserve). I am on the fence about the next step in the process whether we should bail out homeowners and mortage companies and the mess they have caused. We shouldn't just blame one side or another both are equally to blame. It should be a short term freeze( a year or so) so they can restructure terms but that should be the extent the government should go. Forclosures on a large scare will create a longer than preferred recession.
*We all know that the Republican walkout over expiration over Fisa is a symbolic measure but all Republicans accross the country need to be attacking the Democrats come election time about their non chalant attitude over national security.
