Which bill was Obama referring to in his speech? Is there a bill number?

I mean when he was saying what the plan was, is there an actual bill, or is it just what he'd like to see, or what?

That might give some indication of where he's coming from.Looks like there's a silver lining in his outburst;"Following Wilson's outburst, the Congressman's website crashed, presumably due to heavy traffic.[18] A message posted to the site claimed that it was "down for maintenance. Please check back again soon." Within hours of the speech, Wilson's Democratic opponent Rob Miller, a Marine Corps veteran, had a fundraising windfall."Bill,That's interesting!

Yea...childish behavior in the extreme. Like when Bush was booed during the state of the union address.............It's pathetic on both sides.....Whatever happened to country first.....Party second.......I hear so much partisan crap from both sides. Where's the middle???? Certainly not with either camp or their more rabid supporters. I read a great line somewhere that said "just because someone doesn't share your political view doesn't make them an idiot nor should they go f%^& themselves". When I hear the level of so called political discussion I'm reminded of the movie Idiocracy......almost prophetic for the pathetic times we're in.Derek
