Yea, I corrected that in the other thread. Boehner got 2 Tea Partiers to defect, and the bill passed 214-212.
You're purposely ignoring that this is about the swaps-pushout rule, which is now gone.
How Wall St. got its way - Dave Clarke and Kate Davidson and Jon Prior - POLITICO
So here you tell me I was played by Sen. Warren and it isn't difficult to understand why.
As you directly insult me by calling me a low-information voter.
Is this your normal way of posting ??

Eric? Anyway, stock market shows confidence in economy. If Obama were as bad as some say, it wouldn't be this high. Anyway, what have republicans done to improve the economy? It seem that their main focus has been on obstructing Obama, who's really not as bad as they say, in my opinion.
Right, haha, the Indian thing. Lulz.
You guys have nothing substantive against her.
Other than she is a socialist. How about the "you didn't build that" mentality?

The House approved the measure late Thursday by 219-206.
Obama was 100% correct when he said that, just FYI. He was talking about the infrastructure that allows businesses to thrive.

He was justifying taking more and more for the private sector.
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me—because they want to give something back. They know they didn't—look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own... If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen
I didn't ignore it.
That is incorrect.
Ah. The beauty of bipartisanship. Boehner and BHO in alliance.
Obama is a pimp and a parasite. He was justifying taking more. You didn't quote the entire bit of bs from that turd

I quoted everything relevant to the "you didn't build that" comment that the right-wing flips out about.
Of course you did--
yer all in for the TBTF Wall Street banks.
And against the little banks on Main Street who benefit from the Export-Import Bank .

so what was the ultimate point to the pimp's rant?
On a campaign swing through Virginia, Obama stopped in Roanoke to speak to supporters.[14] In his remarks Obama noted that while he was willing to cut government waste, he would not gut investments that grow the economy or give tax breaks to millionaires like himself or Mitt Romney.[9] Obama went on to say that rich people did not get rich solely due to their own talent and hard work, but that, to varying degrees, they owe some of their success to good fortune and the contributions of government.[15] Obama said in this context:
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me – because they want to give something back. They know they didn't – look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.[16]
Obama then cited the funding of the G.I. Bill, the creation of the middle class, the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam, creation of the Internet, and landing on the moon as examples of what he was talking about.[9]
The economy got stifled before Obama even entered the white house. Things are looking better now, jobs, stock market etc. Careful what you wish for, like republicans in charge.
TEAparty Republicans and Liberal Democrats hate the campaign finance changes and Wall Street giveaways at the last moment.
Strange bedfellows indeed.
On the DEM side, Warren and Pelosi versus Hoyer, Reid and Obama .
You know what bothers me about that, is that so much attention is paid to the so called "far right tea partiers" that serve to obstruct congress, but no attention is ever paid to Elizabeth Warren. I wonder why that is...
Commerce can most definitely happen without government participation. It's unclear why anyone could possibly believe that it couldn't, and hasn't.she was absolutely correct in recognizing that commerce does not happen in an environment free of government participation
