I made my proposals to create new jobs and help dislocated workers on October the 4th, three months and 943,000 lost jobs ago. The House of Representatives accepted my proposals. But the Senate Democratic leadership would not even schedule a vote. Some in the Senate seem to think we can afford to do nothing, that the economy will get better on its own, sooner or later. I say that if your job is in danger or you have a loved one out of work, you want that recovery sooner, not later.

We need a plan to lengthen unemployment benefits, we need a plan to shorten the recession. The Senate should act on both. America's workers cannot afford more delay.

My wish came true. I was hoping he would continue to talk over the Senate's head (i.e., Tom Daschle's head). Someone needs to take to little Tommy to the Woodshed. . .

Gee, that's an amazing portrait. I don't think I've met too many people who can smile that radiantly without using their mouth. Actually I've never seen it before. Good artist to have captured this unusual personality as he has.

He's on live from CA right now! He does a pretty good job speaking Spanish.

hehehe, methinks he may fire a couple more digs at Haskel daschle.
