447billion approval

our senate just approved a bill to "provide money for non-defense government agencies including the Transportation, Commerce, Justice, Veterans Affairs and State departments". i just don't understand why sooo much money is needed! Between the bail out money and this, China defn. is going to own us! $447 billion!.. where does all this money come from? The only thing left is for Obama's stamp of approval;lets see what Mr. president has instore for us this time.

peace prize

I don't know what to say. Obama accepted the Nobel peace prize just 9 days after he sent 30,000 more troops over seas. I don't think they gave him such an honorable prize to increase our "war" in Afghanistan. Why was he even give the prize in the first place? He was put up for nomination basically for "talking about" everything he wanted to change.
