“Despite early and regular pleas from the White House, Senate Democrats say they will not move immediately to take up President Obama’s jobs bill when they return next week from a short recess.

“We’ll get to that,” Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said Monday night when asked if the likely passage of a temporary spending bill to keep the government functioning meant the Senate could now consider the president’s package.”

I’d rather see or read about her instead of O’bummer any day.

She might make a better president.

I think the answer(s) to your question are as follows:

First, the Bay Area and Hollywood are where the money is to be found, along with Wall Street.

Second, the Dems come get the money and then leave based on the assumption that they can take CA for granted. Not sure if that’s a reliable assumption for 2012, although it is for the Bay Area.

Third, the Repubs come get the money and then leave based on the assumption that they are wasting their time trying to round up votes here.

Good catch there Elwood. He or his speechwriter obviously meant “Transcontinental.” Wonder how many people noticed that? Not I.

Of course, during the 2008 campaign, candidate Obama did once mention something about “57 states.” So perhaps we do need an intercontinental structure to reach the others — starting of course with the “51st state” — Israel.

“That’s what the president of the United States flat-out said Thursday during what was supposed to be a photo op to sell his jobs plan next to an allegedly deteriorating highway bridge.

A railroad between continents? A railroad from, say, New York City all the way across the Atlantic to France? Now, THAT would be a bridge!”
