Yoo hoo! Senators Obama and Clinton?? Cat got your tongue?

[Bluebear]

How say ye?

[Clovis Sangrail]

1. I was supporting Obama

I don't think I am anymore.

I mean, if he finally does fight against this that'll be great, but any illusions I had about him not being "just another politician" are mostly gone.

If he actually believed what he's been preaching about the war he should have already been shouting about this.
(same goes for Hillary)

[Neecy]

2. I've been wondering myself...

[Solly Mack]

3. the weather-vane hasn't stopped yet

to point the way

be patient ;)

[Neecy]

4. Mark Penn is polling on it now...

[madfloridian]

6. And when he finds which way the wind is blowing...

he will let her know.

[pnwmom]

20. Would you rather have a President who doesn't care what constituents think?

I thought we were sick of the "I'm the decider" kind of politician.

If Obama and Clinton are waiting for feedback from constituents, that seems like a positive thing to me.

[Bluebear]

21. Oh for heaven's sake, is this just to be contrary?

Enough already, pnwmom. Are you suggesting they are really just waiting to see how the day's phone calls go? Do conscience and principles count for nothing?

[pnwmom]

27. I think many people are contradicting themselves.

On the one hand, they're advocating that we bombard our Congresspeople with emails and phone calls -- which I think is a good idea. On the other hand, they complain if they think that any of our representatives actually listens to the feedback they're getting.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

16. HA!

That's what I was thinking! :D

[Solly Mack]

18. hehehehehehe

[Bluebear]

7. Updated OP

In honor of your perfect reply.

[Solly Mack]

8. Excellent!!! LMAO

You're the best!!!!!!

[Dancing_Dave]

5. They just better know

That I and millions of others will NEVER vote for them if they back this disgraceful legislation.

Tie up the Congressional phone lines until this vote comes up and make it absolutely clear that you will never vote for them for any public office no matter what, if they capitulate to this disgraceful deal with the Devil in the White House!

[liberalnurse]

9. My bet....

Clinton will say "No".

[mmonk]

10. They usually have a lot of nothing to say.

Are they quiet now or working on nice fuzzy words and twisting adjectives?

[Mark Twain Girl]

22. I'm betting "working on nice fuzzy words" with LOTS of extra word about heroes

and supporting the troops.

After the calculating strategizing bull session matadors for both camps figure out the most expedient direction of the breeze, of course.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. Don't rush them

They're both waiting to see how the other one is going to vote. Then there's the time it takes to make the excuses... You can't rush things like that!

[Bluebear]

12. You are correct. This is disgraceful conduct on both of their parts. nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. Funny thing is, I don't want to be correct

In the end I'm hoping they'll both vote no, but that doesn't negate the fact that they couldn't come out with a firm stance on this.







Disclaimer: Note that I said I hope and I'm making no predictions.

[Mark Twain Girl]

24. Yeah, that too -- they're playing chicken with each other, to check the political winds. Nice. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

13. we'll find out in a few hours

I suspect both will vote "no".

[depakid]

14. I think this reflects on their leadership ability,,,

as well as their integrity and judgment.

If Gore doesn't step into the race, my thoughts are that a LOT of people will be staying home.

[quinnox]

15. lol

I really like Hillary but the weathervane cartoon is very funny and an apt description right now! I'm sure furious last minute polling is being conducted on this one by Clinton and then we will find out.

[youngdem]

17. Obama is thinking about it, and Hillary is still wetting her finger to see which way the wind blows

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. Obama says he'll read it before commentating.

Which might piss off knee-jerkers, but that's a valid answer to me. Assuming he ends up voting no.

I can be patient.

[Bluebear]

25. Verdict: Both vote no on the final round when the goddamn thing was decided already. nt

[Solly Mack]

29. now there's a shocker

snort

[Madspirit]

26. k&r...n/t

[Colobo]

28. They voted no. Period.

[EFerrari]

30. Opinion leaders who don't actually lead are useless. n/t
