So if you would of had Olympia Snowe's support - it would have been bi-partisan? What a joke. <br /><br />The Republicans have been completely on the sidelines since January 2009 and will stay there regardless until at least January 2011. They have virtually no political power. <br /><br />And sure you had the appearance of a mandate at the end of last year, but between completing the purchase of General Motors, the non-Stimulus package spending, and the fact that people are finally understanding what "change" entails, that has been wasted and Mr. Obama's ever sinking poll numbers reflect that.Anon Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104701158693144160noreply@blogger.com
