3. Reid just now started talking. So far talking about the spending bill.

Edited on Thu Dec-16-10 07:35 PM by Tx4obama

Talking about there being THREE separate branches of government.
He doesn't like the grab of power, doesn't want Senate to give up power.
Likes the bill.
Talking about Head Start, school programs, senior citizens, jobs ...

p.s. Guess there isn't a breaking news story - yet.

7. Says he was told that he had bi-partisan support on the spending bill, BUT now...

Edited on Thu Dec-16-10 07:41 PM by Tx4obama

republican senators have told him that they are going to vote 'no' on the spending bill.

So, in the next 24 hours Reid is going to work with McConnell on a 'CR'.

Reid is filing cloture tonight on The DREAM ACT.

Reid is filing cloture tonight on The DADT Repeal !!!

And he just said something about the START Treaty, didn't catch that part ...
