Notice how they attempt but fail to drown him out when they realize what he's about to say...

3. No, I didn't notice how they tried to drown him out |
|
Senator Schumer made his point without difficulty.
However, they should have given a brief shot of Senator Graham with a sour expression on his mug after Schumer was finished.

5. As I said, they tried, but failed. |
|
Maybe it's because I have my headphones on but it seems clear to me they were trying to stop him in his tracks. However, he did a great job of ignoring it and continued making his point.

6. Noticed the Repukes have been complaining about how big the bill actually is. |
|
showing an 8 inch or so wad of paper. Yeah, what was your defense on all the other bills just as long.
Not everything was going to change. I didn't expect that, but Obama is trying to change the tone. The change Repukes are looking for is like putting water in the gas tank. o_O

7. Is it just me, or does everytime a Democrat is actually making their point |
|
as clearly as Schumer did just there, that the moderator (in this case Stephi) is trying to talk over him?

8. And Schumer didn't object |
|
as he greased the skids by voting to let Mukasey easily slide into the Attorney General's office.

10. Shumer made a great point. |
|
Nor did he let them drown him out. Things are going to get worse and we need to keep the focus on repubs past complicity, and current obstructionism, or have it hung around our necks imo.
