This makes it sound as if the sunset bill on guest workers was Dorgan’s bill.
I thought Obama presented that amendment, because Graham was going after Obama in a recent rant for puttimg a time limit on guest workers.
This bill isn’t dead yet. It is only severely wounded. When Bush gets back from G-8, he will be pushing for another try to get it or some semblance of it through for his signature.
Now we should all let our congresscritters who voted the right way on this know of our appreciation, the same way we contacted them before the vote.
I'm particularly proud of my Senator, John Cronyn, and have already sent him a message to let him know.

Afraid you are right ... I can’t understand how Pres Bush and the WH are so absolutely out of touch with American citizens. The bright side of this is that perhaps he will let it go, as he did the Social Security program he advocated when his approval ratings were considerably higher and he had some political capital to work with.
