War not good, but intentions to vote on a Bill to allow Inspectors to do their job, good one, but was bamboozled by Bush! Giving $18 Billion to Oil, gas and Nuclear industries while prices still climb and their profits increase in record numbers while people freeze in their homes, especially the elderly on fixed incomes, not good at all! Having a major bundler Rowe, Chair of Exelon funding and allowing people to freeze who can't afford the higher cost of oil and gas, or electricity, sound like the same pattern as taking from Rezko while slum tennants freeze! The dots are incredible when you connect them! Consider why Obama doesn't seem to react to badly over things like Wright, NAFTA and such, you have to wonder why that is, obviously hiding bigger damages out there! And another issue on this is Cheney’s Bill for tax cuts for Oil & Gas $6 Billion and Nuclear $12 Billion which Obama voted FOR and is now attacking on the campaign trail visa vie lies!
