Even before Barack Obama is sworn in as president, some cracks are appearing in the alliance between the incoming administration and its Democratic allies in Congress.
Top lawmakers are questioning details of the president-elect's nearly $1 trillion economic stimulus plan. And while Obama wants Congress to release the second half of the $700 billion financial rescue program, House Democrats are insisting on voting on legislation this week setting restrictions on how his administration can use the money.
Behind the scenes, Obama's aides and congressional leaders are coordinating their moves closely. But publicly, lawmakers are seeking to show they won't just rubber-stamp the new president's agenda and at times will oppose his initiatives.
"We are not potted plants," California Sen. Barbara Boxer said Monday. "We are going to give our opinion."

>>Obama learns fast that Dems are hard to herd”
what would he expect from a herd of dumb jackasses ?<<
More like a pack of hyenas.
You are so cruel! If you were talking about Senator Patrica Bin Murray, you might have a point. But Boxer is at least as intelligent as a potted plant. But the potted plant is far more pleasant to look at. :-}
They are:
1) Sodomites.
2) Black power thugs.
3) Invaders and legal immigrants (that want to turn
America into their turd world countries).
4) Fools that say they vote for democrats because
Republicans are rich.
5) People that are for the planned Murder of the
most helpless.
6) People that want government control over everybody.
7) People that want catholic(means universal) socialism.
Apparently so are Republicans.
But she is a leftist toad and not very bright.
I would like to know where the hell my tax money is going to on the federal level.
Here in my county of st johns county FL we get a print out every year of where my tax money has gone to, so why cant we get something like that from the Feds
Excellent point, manc! We'll never see any kind of "receipt" regarding our federal tax dollars as long as the 'RATs are in control, obviously...
No, California Dems are not independent. Bambi defeated Feinstein and Pelosi (and non-Californian Reid) even before he became president. They thought they could control him, but he and the people behind him (the truly radical Ayers wing of the Dem party) are going to control them. Boxer is a radical flake who will be their point man.
8)egos that reach the point of madness
Just dangle other peoples money in front of them. They will not just herd, they will stampede.
Feinstein is one of the few Democrats I respect.
Rahm's getting the horse-head bedroom decorations ready as we speak.
Boxer and Patty Murray are as close to potted plants intellectually as anyone in the Senate. Stunning that the GOP can’t beat them. And they wont until they stop worrying so much about what individuals are doing and leave people alone.
thanks
If you really want to know exactly how your tax dollars are squandered, the gory details are here:

By far, the scariest table is Table 1.1 here:

Over the first 60 years of the US, we spent a grand total of just over $1 billion dollars. This year, just the INCREASE in spending compared to 2008 will be $176 billion. Hope your grandkids aren’t planning on retiring...
No, but your intelligence level is the same.
Not really. Just pour some Kool-Aid.

What did he expect? They are sheeple.
