Idiots in Senate scuttle Obama foreclosure bill

In 2006, America rejoiced when the Democrats regained control of Congress. Because everybody knew they could trust the Democrats to keep their promises to help working Americans.

Except they haven't.

Today, the Senate defeated an important bill championed by President Obama that would have allowed you to fight foreclosures through the bankruptcy courts. The 51 to 45 vote against the bill involved 12 Democrats siding with the Republicans' Evil Empire and with big banks.

If all the Democrats do is vote with the Republicans, what was the point in spending all that money to regain a Senate majority?

Not like we expected that much from them anyway, after they failed to repeal the Republicans' fascist mid-decade bankruptcy law (which should be considered null and void, as it was passed by a rogue regime).
