i decided to go to break down and log into kos for some sanity. they are working on the votes that are committed for and against and the undecided. it`s going to be interesting who votes for the president and who is against him.

i have this nagging feeling that obama decided to dump this into the hands of the house and senate. he could have done this without them but he did`t. he`s calling out or getting even with the republicans in the house. he`s making them vote for war. guess we`ll wait and see.

one thing is for certain .obama will be the president till 16
