Maybe the fund is empty because too much has been spent?

Talking cars? What would they say? “It’s Bush’s fault”? Or, maybe, “Everything would be fine if congress would just do whatever I want”?

Obama is an idiot. He hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about.

I always figured Obama wasn’t too bright, but I thought at least his handlers could see the irony of having him do a photo-op sitting in a “driverless car”.

I don’t believe he thinks that what the word means is what it means.

RE:”
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives was poised on Tuesday to approve a $10 billion infusion for the fund, enough to keep money flowing to road, bridge and transit projects at least through the end of May 2015.” Mo $$$$ spent?
They fractured GOP cant seem to demand ANYTHING for the $$$ Obama demands. One side wants a deal even when its crappy, the other rejects everything,

Every car I’ve ever owned has talked. It is called a RADIO.

RE:”
the House passed it. Reid said the Senate will get around to their own bill. What was it that Sarah said, laying down like little puppies getting their bellies scratched?” One side wants something passed to protect them from their voters, even if it means going to Dems for votes.
The other side tends to say 'no' to anything like this at all regardless of conditions, most in GOP only districts where saying 'no' is always safe.
So with a divided GOP house they always get nothing in return for all this $$$.
On other threads I said to give Obama his border $$$ but to fix the 2008 law that prevents immediate deportations, to give AZ the authorization to enforce their laws regarding illegals, and outlaw Obama’s amnesty program, all in the $$$ bill. Attach all those fixes.
And maybe some Republicans fear that Obama could use the GWB method of using 'signing statements' to ignore parts of the law he doesn't want to follow(man it looked great when Bush did it) .

I have a corvette that talks to me. It constantly says faster, faster, faster, faster I once drove a Cobra replica that whispered two things: "We can catch that guy up ahead, no problem!", and "Whoops! You almost died there."
Usually my Passat TDI is pretty silent - German stoicism and all that. Still, I'd bet that once in a while it would like to tell me...
"I don't care if she is Italian and naked, stop riding that two-wheeled hussy and take ME on a weekend trip!"

Maybe the fund is empty because too much has been spent? Yes, but that was for "shovel-ready" projects, wasn't it?
Oh ... wait.
