Well congress, in the words of Hamilton, Controls the purse. If they don't give him money, what can he do?

I find it funny that in all this woman/political speak, Condaleeza Rice hasn't got a mention yet. I know she's not running, but I think it's because we all know she used to be a man.

They already tried to do that in a half-assed way by tying funds to a timetable for withdrawal, but Bush just vetoed it. The Democrats really can't do anything that Bush doesn't want them to, since they don't have enough of a majority to overturn a veto.

Politics is a giant chess game. Their forcing alliances with the president. Then in the midterms they will use it against those same reps.

Least thats what i'm going with.

I like Obama.

I enjoy the fact that he actually had to pay back his student loans, and that he even had to have student loans.

I think he's articulate and intelligent and would be an excellent person to help repair the bad opinion people have of the United States.

I think Hillary Clinton is simply the same thing that has been shoved down our throats for years and years, only in a skirt instead of slacks.
