Fr-er’s, looking forward to your feedback, I am not trying to be flamed by posting this like you I am not happy with this bill. None the less, this is an interesting perspective.
And there is the problem. The Omnibus could have been STOPPED, not moved, by the current House.
More excuses for liberal republicans.

Apparently Chrissy Matthews isn't the only one Hussein 0bama tingles - Little Johnny Boehner love him too!
BOEHNER MUST GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moderator, Please correct the author’s name their is an “i” at the end of it!
And there were an equal number of ‘successes’ for the Democrats.
We would have got more from a CR, we should have done that.
Screw the GOP. They have lost me until they get rid of the communists garbage. No one damn penny from me.
In Context would be a cartoon showing a Semi Truck full of Vaseline backing up to Congress , and Boehner and McConnell screaming, NO NOT FOR US, It’s For the TAXPAYERS.!
I think the CRomnibus showed how quickly and quietly Republicans gave up their advantage, broke their promises, and simply rubber-stamped Obama’s amnesty and Obamacare. Heck, at least some Democrats tried to stop it.
Suggests any efforts are simply futile.
Republicans got table scraps. Another blown opportunity.

Absolutely right. If Dems didn’t go for it, they were the ones shutting down da gubamint.
About 53 Republicans voted against the crap sandwich, which failed to get more than the bare minimum to pass.
And its future in the out-going Democratic Senate is by no means guaranteed.
From a Dem perspective, you gotta take it because you get most of what you want all the way out to September. Good deal for Dems. Big victory for Obama.
Even if there are a few good things in there (someone rightly called them “scraps”), this would be a poison pill.
An even better word for this would be “capitulation”. Or perhaps, “Collaboration”.
Everyone and I do mean everyone, who voted with Boehner is one of two things: a sell out to their constituents or too stupid to serve in government!
Everyone of the lemmings that followed Boehner over the cliff to support Obama needs to say bye, bye to his/her "service to the taxpayers" for sticking them with a $1.1 Trillion bill to go along with the $17 Trillion we are already stuck to pay, no thanks to this bunch of traitors!
“C-Romney-bus” Spending Bill.....
[Republicans got table scraps. Another blown opportunity. ]
The beaten cowed dogs under the table are always happy for their little table scraps because they figure under the table is still “a place at the table”.....
It is the Marxists and the media that keep talking about the republicans shutting down the government. And only them.
The republicans are scared to death of being blamed for shutting down the government.
So once again the Marxists have out played the republicans. The majority of republicans have voted to continue the omnibus bill they were elected to stop.
