60? Well, there had to be at least two “Republicans” who voted for him... probably McLame and Lindsay Graham.
It needs a 44 under Obama
He had the RINO votes of Voinovich and Snowe. But McCain voted NO. I was honestly shocked at that.
Geithner is a perfect metaphor for Obama and his administration.....cheater.....in it for HIMSELF.
I want to know the name of the two traitors who voted for this nomination. They will go down in political flames!
Republicans need to vote against all of these bad decisions. They need to distance themselves as far from Caligula as possible. When Caligula’s regime fails, republicans need to say “we opposed it at every turn.”
“60-34 (near strict party line)”
Excuse me while I go vomit.
see tagline.
Let’s give our Republican Senators some positive support and feedback here.
They stood together, as a group (except two) AND they stood on principle.
Good job!
I may be off on this, but I think the Republicans in Congress are actually as shocked as many of us are over Obama’s opening week. That and Pelosi’s vile comments about “family planning” may be the slap across the face the Republicans needed, because if they were still in this “we’ll bend over for him” mode, this would have been a unanimous vote. Obviously the Republicans are already seeing that this “economic policy” is doomed, and they want to be in position to say “I told you so!” by voting against the tax cheat.
If the Republicans see themselves as in danger of not winning re-election, they will vote accordingly, so this is telling.
Salazar, new Secretary of the Department of the Interior sent out a big memo today talking about how great it was to have the most ethical administration and strongest ethic rules ever in government.
Then one of Obama's 1st acts is to waive his own rules for his pic as Treasury Secretary. A man to be in charge of our tax policy who himself has not paid.
Says it all right there.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
I guess elections have consequences. Maybe we should have run a conservative candidate.
(new tagline!)
What 6 people didn’t vote? I guess it’s actually five, but what’s up with that?
And who crossed the party line? I want their name. They need to find something better to do with their time, than betray us on a regular basis.
Harkin, Fiengold and Sanders all democrats voted no.
Do you think they are getting our protests? I’ve written my rep, Sensenbrenner, Yeah, at least I have that. And my state reps (good conservatives, biggest conservative county in Wisconsin), that we’ve dumped the GOP, but will support conservatives directly. His response was, I’m battling for you. I don’t bother with Kohl and feingold, they just send canned letters.
HAHA! GREAT ONE!!!
