Obama's First Big Presidential Win

I was SO glad when I learned the Senate had voted NOT to block release of the 2nd tranche of the $700 billion financial sector bail-out. The vote was 52 to 42, with 6 Republicans joining 46 Democrats. Obama and team lobbied hard and prevailed - I've heard it compared to LBJ style (that's President Lyndon Baines Johnson for you youngsters out there). BIG WIN right out the door - right before the door, actually, seeing as how he isn't Prez yet.

Keeping up this blog seems to be on the wane, doesn't it? I have the impression that blog sites tend to live online "forever" so there is no point in formally closing down. Fair and I can continue to post, if and when we want to. Keeps us with a tiny toehold in the blogosphere . . .
