Senate Votes to Give Retroactive Immunity for Telecoms-but OBAMA VOTED NOT TO.

[jenmito]

"Senate Votes to Give Retroactive Immunity for Telecoms" is the headline for the article, and Obama voted "yea" for the bill which means he voted to STRIP Telecoms of their retroactive ammunity. Here's the article which some apparently misunderstood:

1. Sorry, still not getting it.

La la la la, can't hear you.

18. Hillary better not bring up the "present" vote again.

Obama can reply with the "absent" vote.

2. Some Hillbot tried a GOTCHA

And filled miserably.

4. I saw that, which is why I started this thread.

:hi:

9. It's just amazing to me how some of them spin and spin

[jenmito]

14. It was unbelievable.

And s/he stuck to it even knowing the truth.

10. Good Grief! I saw that thread

and didn't even feel like going on..I couldn't believe Obama would vote for that.

There should be a compilation of posters who try and smear Obama for the next time someone whines about the big bad Obama supporters.

Unfortunately it NEEDED to be posted.

:hi:

[jenmito]

8. No problem!

Yes, I felt it DID need to be given its own thread. :hi:

11. Hey, Jen....

....thanks for setting the record straight. You go, girl! :applause:

A K&R for you!

[jenmito]

12. Thanks, Hepburn...

Just doing my patriotic duty. :D :hi:

[Hepburn]

17. Atta girl, Jen!

Gotta set 'em straight when they totally BS things!

[jenmito]

21. That's right...

15. Good idea.

16. k&r.

19. H.C. was in Wash DC

but didn't show up to vote as Obama did. This really separates the goat from the sheep. Let H.C. know that her no-show on this vitally important issue has consequences, DUers!

[jenmito]

23. That is strange that she was in D.C. and didn't vote! I'm VERY suspicious about why she didn't vote

!!! Makes ya wonder...

20. If you're from my part of the country, all you do is count double-negatives

to see what the speaker intended: "Hillary ain't(1) got no(2) vote to remove no(3) immunity from no(4) telecomm bill."

2 double negatives = Hillary did not vote on the bill.

22. And Hillary didn't bother to vote at all, even though she was in town

[jenmito]

24. Did she put out a statement at least?
