his rep explained there is complexity built into the bill which is making hinchey lean toward supporting it as an attempt to support the admin in the parts of the bill that expedite getting out of iraq.

when i mentioned it would also pay to escalate what we are doing in afghanistan, was told that’s where the complexity lies. apparently they are still working on the details of the bill.

more when i know more.

Michael Corleone Obama in response:

“Senator(s), you can have my answer now; nothing… and I’d appreciate it if you would pay for the license.”

Who are GOP senators (totaling forty and shrinking, maybe even before 2010) to be warning Obama about anything?

Wish he was mine actually. I’m stuck with David Wu in Oregon’s 1st District. Quite honestly I’d personally love to run against Wu, but he gets overwhelmingly re-elected due to that (D) next to his name, and the district he’s in.</p> I’ll tackle DeFazio after lunch, though I’d be shocked if he voted for the supplemental; he’s arguably one of the most progressive Reps on the West Coast.
