I still would have preferred that all three candidate/Senators came back from Iowa for all the reform votes, but I especially picked on Obama because he was my senator. For the part that did directly answer my question: Durbin's office backed Obama on the statement that Durbin could have called Obama back from Iowa at any time if the vote hinged on him (in the Trib somewhere I think. I wish I still knew where to find that). I might prefer to vote for Durbin for pres, but he isn't running. <BR/><BR/>There's another thing about this if you didn't catch it. It wasn't only the Republicans blocking Farm Bill reform. A lot of prominent Dems are holding it up and Speaker Pelosi didn't help on the House side by urging a compromise with more assistance, but no reform. Our Republican president seems the more interested in capping subsidies these days than the bi-partisan conference committee.CCYLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863723919107019344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497896879385906557.post-87217694011162959342008-05-14T18:34:00.000-05:002008-05-14T18:34:00.000-05:00So, if I understand this right, Obama couldnt get ...So, if I understand this right, Obama couldnt get much done early on because the Republicans controlled the majority...then he decided he really couldnt do much as a Senator, even with the majority, so he began to run as POTUS...<BR/><BR/>ISnt this pretty much an non answer to your questions...what happened to accountability?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497896879385906557.post-59439292300529564102008-03-09T15:03:00.000-05:002008-03-09T15:03:00.000-05:00I'd like to see the entire letter!
