Well, that's obviously not going to happen. At least 12 more minutes.

1. Pelosi on the floor now. Wonder will they blame her for their NO votes again?

2. I'm glad the debate is over. Really sick of
all the Republican whining. Lord, between Wamp, Cantor, Dreier, and Hebsarling...oh, and that Jerry Lewis guy--I feel nausesous.

3. I can't stand Republicans. They are liars
Aaron Schock, the congressman from Peoria who joined Obama on his Caterpillar visit yesterday, attacks the President's stimulus. "I found it very interesting that after the President finished his speech...not one employee at that facility approached me and asked to vote for this bill." Says he has received 1,000 phone calls and emails from Caterpillar employees asking him to vote no.

5. I suspect that figure and his statement could not be told
apart, even with microscopic examination, from collections of the last county fair, department of hogs and sows.

6. She's doing well, she's laying it out...
The Repubs will do what Repubs do, and she just issued them a firm warning, that not being on the same page as the American people will cost them dearly.

7. Must we remind the perpetually tan John Boehner how stimulative 'tax cuts' are...
BANG FOR THE BUCK STIMULUS CHART

8. Interesting. A bit of ass covering from Boehner, "I hope it works, but I have my doubts."

9. Also a fair amount of revisionistic claptrap trying
to paint the Republican congresses of the * era as bipartisan and interested in including Dems in their legislating process.
