$35 billion payoff to union dies in the Senate

Another epic failure for Obama. The Senate killed his latest attempt to pay off the unions with $35 billion porkulus bill going down 50 to 50. Three Marxist Democrats who suddenly are trying to play conservative voted against the bill. Yet the headline from the biased corrupt news organizations like Associated Press is claiming Senate Republicans filibustered Obama’s jobs bill. Before even worrying about luring in some RINOs, the Democrats better worry about getting their own party to vote not to “filibuster” Obama’s spending bills. The three Democrats who voted against the bill are coming up on an election year next year. Suddenly, Cornhusker Kickback king Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana are fiscal hawks, voting against the bill. Warmongering Democrat Joe Liberman’s seat is open next year as he’s retiring, and he voted no as well.

Thursday’s $35 billion measure combined $30 billion for state and local governments to hire teachers and other school workers with $5 billion to help pay the salaries of police officers, firefighters and other first responders. The White House says the measure would “support” almost 400,000 education jobs for one year. Republicans call that a temporary “sugar high” for the economy.

WTF is support? Is that like a new Obama jobs created or saved thing?
