I hope this blows up in his face.
Me too, but I’m not holding my breath. I think the republicans on capitol hill think this is a trap and that’s why they are not fighting the payout bill with much gusto. It came up for several votes last week and it didn’t pass because the republicans wanted it paid for or something to that effect. Not one of them is bringing up the rampant fraud and abuse and say on the floor that they support the payout. I think it’s a ‘fete de complete’ now that the lawsuit has been won though, it’s just up to the congress to fund the payout.
Between this and the Rangel/Waters stuff, it is very possible that the WH and dems are hoping to cause some kind of ‘racial’ stink to get the black vote out in November. The republicans aren’t falling for the bait though.
Just my two cents.
