Same Old Senators

"Despite Obama’s sky high personal approval ratings, polls show support has declined for his stimulus bill since Republicans and their conservative talk-radio allies began railing against what they labeled as pork barrel spending within it. "

These republican senators need to wake up before its too late. Do they not see what is going on outside their comfortable surroundings in DC? I want some of these guys to go down to southeast DC and explain to those families that they can't approve the stimulus bill because of "pork barrel" spending. What pork barrel spending? Can we get some examples please (other then the contraceptive thing)? Some are saying they want to take out the provision that calls for computerizing medical records. Why? Think about it, anyone who knows how to use an excel page, people to communicate with the hospitals, doctors/nurses to make sense of those records, and many others. Not to mention, this is a necessary thing to do if we are ever going to revamp our health care system to be significantly better then that of Slovenia. Every single person who looses their job or dies in a hospital because that hospital didn't have that person's records should rest on the conscience of these idiot senators.
