Show me where it says refugees are coming or did come to United States. Executive Orders are made by the president and signed by the president without the need of approve from congress and no pork can be added by congress. Prove me wrong and i will apologize and shut up.

But I still stand by my original statement.
NOthing suprises me under this administration. All you had to do was some easy research on what he wanted to do and what he stood for.
This should not a suprise to anyone, unfortunately.
Can't say I'm sorry the way I voted.....

* He said "we import more oil today than ever before." That's untrue. Imports peaked in 2005 and are substantially lower today.
* He claimed his mortgage aid plan would help "responsible" buyers but not those who borrowed beyond their means. But even prominent defenders of the program including Fed Chairman Bernanke and FDIC chief Bair concede foolish borrowers will be aided, too.
* He said the high cost of health care "causes a bankruptcy in America every 30 seconds." That's at least double the true figure.
* He flubbed two facts about American history. The U.S. did not invent the automobile, and the transcontinental railroad was not completed until years after the Civil War, not during it.
* He claimed that his stimulus plan "prevented the layoffs" of 57 police officers in Minneapolis. In fact, it's far more complicated than that, and other factors are also helping to save police jobs.

Ok I'm not sure what HR1388 has to do with giving $20million to refugeeshttp://personalmoneystore.com/moneyb...-volunteerism/
It talks about volunteerism /no reference about money for refugees. ie. Don't believe everything you hear or read.

Exactly.
Besides, we "lost" our country YEARS ago! You think we're a free society? Maybe go preach about it in a FREE SPEECH ZONE! (If you don't know what it is, look it up.)
I'm just glad I voted the way I did, because I know my family has gotten worse off over the last 8 years... We were doing great before that. I want change. I know what Obama stands behind. I wasn't a blind voter...I voted for him, and I don't regret it. Besides, he gives me and extra $25 a week! I'm not complaining!
Oh, and if the Republicans are so against wasteful spending, where were they during the Iraq war?!?!?!?!!??

If you want to study the actual bill, or any bill for that matter, a great resource is www.govtrack.us. Just plug the bill number into the search at the top left of the page and you will get all kinds of information, including a summary along with the actual verbiage of the bill itself as well as how individual members of Congress voted. Keep in mind that wading through these things can be tedious; unless you are a law student, you may want to keep the Tylenol handy :)

One Phrase "The Progressive Movement" it is in both parties. It started back when Ole Teddy Roosevelt was elected, thru Woodrow Wilson, FDR ,G.H.W. Bush, G. W. Bush and finally with the Savior ObamaNation. So don't just blame "W", blame the majority of all polications from both parties. That's what the Tea Parties were about. However the Progressives hijacked the "D" Party more so than the "R" Party.
