I wonder if the message will sink into GW that he's totally out of touch with the American majority :???: At least its finally sinking into the Senators and Congressmen that US taxpayers will pay to aid/build the US- but are sick and tired of GW borrowing Zillions $ and spending taxpayer dollars to build his own little private oil company nations- and using globalist trade to raise the standard of living around the world-while lowering that in the US....

If you're going to spend fistfulls of borrowed money like a drunken sailor- at least spend it on yourself instead of an ugly woman thats going to dump you when you quit giving her money anyway....

WASHINGTON - The House emphatically approved a major five-year farm bill by a veto-proof margin yesterday, setting up President Bush for a major political embarrassment.

Brushing off Bush's opposition, many Republicans joined a majority of Democrats in approving the farm bill, 318-106. This is well over the two-thirds vote needed to override Bush's promised veto.

Obama says- while its not perfect, he supports the Farm Bill....

"I applaud the Senate's passage today of the Farm Bill, which will provide America's hard-working farmers and ranchers with more support and more predictability."
"The bill places greater resources into renewable energy and conservation. And, during this time of rising food prices, the Farm Bill provides an additional $10 billion for critical nutrition programs. I am also pleased that the bill includes my proposal to help thousands of African-American farmers get their discrimination claims reviewed under the Pigford settlement."

"This bill is far from perfect. I believe in tighter payment limits and a ban on packer ownership of livestock. As president, I will continue to fight for the interests of America's family farmers and ranchers and ensure that assistance is geared towards those producers who truly need them, instead of large agribusinesses. But with so much at stake, we cannot make the perfect the enemy of the good."

"By opposing the bill, President Bush and John McCain are saying no to America's farmers and ranchers, no to energy independence, no to the environment, and no to millions of hungry people."
