Senators are being paid off
- Thread starter hedgehog
- Start date
GOP is calling it Louisiana Purchase.
Obama is calling it "change we can believe in"
======================
On the eve of Saturday's showdown in the Senate over health-care reform, Democratic leaders still hadn't secured the support of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of the 60 votes needed to keep the legislation alive. The wavering lawmaker was offered a sweetener: at least $100 million in extra federal money for her home state.
And so it came to pass that Landrieu walked onto the Senate floor midafternoon Saturday to announce her aye vote -- and to trumpet the financial "fix" she had arranged for Louisiana. "I am not going to be defensive," she declared. "And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix."
++++++++++++++++++++
--also rumored a few more hold outs
-Barney held out intially--when asked what it take to get his vote--he said not much-just turn the paige--:SIB

He got: An Israeli brush-off. Construction of a new Jewish housing complex began last week.
Iran ? Obama wanted: A deal to ship low-enriched uranium to Russia to curb Iran?s ability to make nuclear weapons.
He got: Another brush-off. Tehran reneged last week.
China ? Obama wanted: Concessions on climate, currency rates, trade and human rights.
He got: A bland statement with no firm commitments and no mention of internet censorship or Tibet.
